Android Button with Left and Right Margin

Question

I have the following layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Button
    android:id="@+id/sign_in"
    style="@style/ButtonText"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/custom_button_green"
    android:text="@string/signin_via_email"
    android:textSize="15sp"
    android:typeface="sans" />

Now the button i dont really want to fit the whole width rather i want a margin of 10dp from the left and 10dp from the right. I have set the padding and layout_marginLeft and right attributes but they dont work. Any help ?

Kind Regards

 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:text="OK" />

..and it worked!
