I want to have a Button or a clickable View in my EditText so that I can perform some action on click of it. I was able to put a drawable inside my EditText thanks to Marcosbeirigo for this answer. But, now I want to make it clickable so that I can perform some action on it. I know this is possible as HTC uses buttons inside EditText in their stock sms app as shown in the following image-

Send button in EditText

In my case, the button will be positioned anywhere, can be in the center also. But the main thing is how can I put a button in EditText?

    Use RelativeLayout. The Send and Attach buttons are simple Android Buttons and the 32/160 is a TextView. Put the buttons and the textview on the EditText object, play with the layout arrangments and set some right padding to the EditText object so that the text inside it won’t go under the buttons.

    You don’t need any drawable and listening to the click event of the android buttons is not a question anymore.
    Its absolutely correct
