I am using an EditText
and it always adds a bit of padding in my text to both left and right.
Adding android:includeFontPadding="false"
did not help and using negative android:layout_marginLeft
or android:layout_marginRight
just makes the EditText
"expand".
How can I strip all padding from the EditText
that is being added by default?
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="20dp"
android:fontFamily="roboto-regular"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_marginLeft="-5dp"
android:layout_marginRight="-5dp"
android:includeFontPadding="false"
android:textSize="@dimen/size"
android:textColor="@color/color"
android:inputType="textCapWords"
android:hint="@string/hint"
android:editable="false"
/>
To remove the padding on the left and right of the EditText
, you can use the following:
<EditText
...
android:paddingLeft="0dp"
android:paddingRight="0dp"
... />
