How can I change the height of a EditText and a Button?

Question

I have this EditText and Button, and I have to reduce its height. I try with android:height="10px" but it doesn't work. Btw android:width="180px" works OK, then I don't know why I can't adjust the height.

Here is the code:

<EditText 
    android:id="@+id/Movile"
    android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/MovileLabel"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:width="180px"
    android:height="10px"/>

<Button
        android:id="@+id/inviteButton"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/invite"
        android:width="100px"
        android:height="5px"
        android:layout_marginLeft="40dip"/>

Answer 1

Instead of setting values to android:height="10px" use android:layout_height="10px"

 android:layout_width="180px"
 android:layout_height="10px"

Answer 2

use android:minHeight="120dp" attribute.

if need to increase height dynamically add android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Answer 3

You need to get rid of the "wrap_content" properties and just have the fixed width and height as so:

<EditText 
    android:id="@+id/Movile"
    android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/MovileLabel"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_width="180px"
    android:layout_height="10px"/>

<Button
        android:id="@+id/inviteButton"
        android:text="@string/invite"
        android:layout_width="100px"
        android:layout_height="5px"
        android:layout_marginLeft="40dip"/>

Answer 4

You can't decrase size of TextEdit if the font is too big inside.

try android:textSize='6sp'
