In my application, I had Used linearlayout, inside that I am having 3 EditText elements. Now I want to increase the space(padding) between the Edittext element. Is it possible?

android:layout_marginTop XML attribute is used to specify extra space on the top side of this view. Thus android:layout_marginTop="10dp" on 2nd textView is specifying 10 dp of space between it and above view.
Notice the line that says android:layout_marginTop="10dip" which ensures that you leave a reasonable 10 dip space in between your buttons. Ofcourse, you can increase (or decrease) that space in between your buttons. That's your choice. Hope this answered your question satisfactorily.
I suggest you use LinearLayout's weightSum attribute. Adding the tag android:weightSum="3" to your LinearLayout's xml declaration and then android:layout_weight="1" to your Buttons will result in the 3 buttons being evenly distributed.
Basically this is relative to your border, if you want to add the space between the elements inside the border (i.e. have the borders touching), you should use the padding property.
If you want to add the space outside the borders (have the borders apart) you should use the margin property.
