Flutter- Adding Padding to OutlinedButton widget

Question

I have problem adding pad for the OutlinedButton, I have been using OutlineButton and I have decided to OutlinedButton because the button is depreciated. However, the usage of the button is different where the padding parameter is undefined. I have tried wrapping OutlinedButton in ButtonTheme but it does not have any effect and now I am using Padding as shown in the code example below.

new Column(children: [
              new Row(children: [
                //5th row
                new Expanded(
                  child: Padding(
                      child: new OutlinedButton(
                    child: new Text(
                      "Main Page",
                      style: TextStyle(
                          fontFamily: 'NotoSans',
                          fontSize: 20.0,
                          fontWeight: FontWeight.w400),
                    ),
                    onPressed: () {
                      Navigator.of(context).push(_gotoMainPage());
                    },
                    padding: EdgeInsets.all(20),
                  )),
                )
              ]),
            ])
          ],
        ),

Thanks in advance.

Both OutlinedButton and ElevatedButton have a styleFrom method you can use to set things like padding, color, and shape:

 OutlinedButton(
          child: Text('Padded Button'),
          onPressed: (){
            
          },
          style: OutlinedButton.styleFrom(
            padding: EdgeInsets.all(8),
            shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
              borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(16)
            )
          ),
        )
