How to hide drawable right programmatically

Question

I am setting drawable right for EditText like below,

editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, null, ContextCompat.getDrawable(getApplicationContext(), R.drawable.ic_clear_black_24dp), null);

I am setting drawable left for EditText in xml. I want to set it's visibility to visible or hide.How Do I do that programmatically.

I have EditText for Search. While start typing I am setting clear icon programatically.

Clear icon will clear text in EditText. When clear icon without text is clicked I want to close keyboard and make clear icon hide. Below is my code for that,

 editText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    editText.setCursorVisible(true);
                    editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, null, ContextCompat.getDrawable(getApplicationContext(), R.drawable.ic_clear_black_24dp), null);
                }
            });
            editText.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
                @SuppressLint("ClickableViewAccessibility")
                @Override
                public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                    if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
                        if(editText.getCompoundDrawables()[2]!=null){
                            if(event.getX() >= (editText.getRight()- editText.getLeft() - editText.getCompoundDrawables()[2].getBounds().width())) {

                                if(!editText.getText().toString().equals("")) {

                                    editText.setText("");
                                }
                                else {

                                   // getWindow().setSoftInputMode(
                                     //       WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
                                    editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, 0, 0);
                                    closeKeyboard();
                                    editText.setCursorVisible(false);
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    return false;
                }
            });

I want to hide it programmatically.

Just pass null in setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds() method to hide Drawable from your editText

SAMPLE CODE

editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, null, null, null);
