   Just in case someone still needs this. Not sure if this is the right way to do it tho. Tested on Android 9 - NS 6.x

   Code

   import { android as androidApp } from 'tns-core-modules/application'
   
   ...
   
   // loaded event
   textFieldLoaded({ object }) {
       // Grab Native view
       const inputLayout = object.android
       // Grab icon from res (replace "com.example.app" with your package name. "ic_add" with your icon name)
       const icon = com.example.app.R.drawable.ic_add
       // Convert it into a drawable for android
       const iconDrawable = androidApp.context.getResources().getDrawable(icon)
   
       inputLayout.setPrefixText("+63 ")
       inputLayout.setStartIconDrawable(iconDrawable)
   }

   Result

   @kryoware I think it is the right way. Want to make a PR to add that both on iOS and Android ?
