When I include the below XML to layout file, I can see the below image. If you see it, you could realize that the TextView has top and bottom space.
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="E1" android:background="#ff00ff00"/> 
I wish to remove the space. How to remove it? What is it called? If anyone has clue.. please let me know. Thanks in advance.

To use preset sizes to set up the autosizing of TextView in XML, use the android namespace and set the following attributes: Set the autoSizeText attribute to either none or uniform. none is a default value and uniform lets TextView scale uniformly on horizontal and vertical axes.
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.
Try android:includeFontPadding="false" to see if it helps. In my experience that will help a little bit, but there's no way of reducing the TextView dimensions to the exact pixel-perfect text size.
The only alternative, which may or may not give better results, is to cheat a bit and hard-wire the dimensions to match the text size, e.g. "24sp" instead of "wrap_content" for the height.
