Hi Guys,

When i set a text inside a button (using setText() ) , in the view im able to see quite some amount of space between the text and the button borders, can you please help me out as to how i should be reducing it?

can you be a bit more specific with what you want?
you could make the button smaller altogether, or make the text font/size bigger

WHen i create a button with some text in it, i see some amount of space between the text and the button borders,at all four sides, i want to reduce the the space at the top and bottom and ake the space between the button text and the border lesser. When i try reducing the size of the button i see some portion of the button get cut..Please help

the solution is theme.

the button is a xml file.

inside this xml file there are some .9.png files referenced.

each .9.png file has help lines, the left und upper line tells how to grow the button (which part of the gfx is stretched)

the right und buttom line tells where the text starts.
