    Yes, use setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds

    and define the drawable for the first parameter, then 0 for all the others.

    The code should look something like this:

    Button b = findViewById(R.id.myButton);

b.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(R.drawable.myDrawable, 0, 0, 0);

    If your drawable was created in code as well then you need to use the other setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds method which takes 4 drawables, and pass null for all but the left.
