Menu
So, at the moment I have a button which looks like the first image above. How do I reduce the padding around the text inside the button itself (To look more like the second image)?
Layout width and height is set as:
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" The custom style shape has parameters"
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp"> With the rest just being color attributes and radii values.
Just to make it clear, I want the frame of the button to hug the "Login" text closer.
All help and feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You can remove the padding around the button by using setting the minWidth and minHeight to 0.
To change the default Button style of the application we can use the android:buttonStyle attribute in the AppTheme style inside the styles. xml. This sets default colored button to all.
To add a button, that has an Android style all you need to do is to drag and drop a button from the Palette to your layout. For most versions that would mean a grey button with all corners at 2dp roundness. Check our blog, if you need to learn more about using Android Studio Layout Editor.
You can use android:includeFontPadding="false" to get rid of the default padding in a TextView . Android docs say this about the attribute: Leave enough room for ascenders and descenders instead of using the font ascent and descent strictly.
It took me forever to find this but the "padding" around the text in a button isn't really padding at all. The default Widget.Button style includes a minHeight property. Changing minHeight on the button will allow you to adjust padding as expected.
<Button android:id="@+id/header" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/test" android:textColor="@color/black" android:minHeight="40dip"/> <style name="Widget.Holo.Button" parent="Widget.Button"> <item name="android:background">@android:drawable/btn_default_holo_dark</item> <item name="android:textAppearance">?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium</item> <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/primary_text_holo_dark</item> <item name="android:minHeight">48dip</item> <item name="android:minWidth">64dip</item> </style> If you love us?
