Reduce text padding inside a Button

Question

Is ist possible to reduce the text padding inside a normal Android Button a bit, in order to reduce the button´s width?

Of course the whole text should be still visible.

Answer 1

There're android:minHeight and android:minWidth attribute already set on a button. Make them 0dp or 1dp to make the background fit to the text.

Answer 2

The "normal" Android button varies between themes, but you probably want to define a custom style for the button that inherits from your button of choice.
