Resizing height in Shape Drawable

Question

I have a shape drawable resource file.
it's the drawable.xml code below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:left="-2dp"
          android:bottom="-2dp"
          android:top="-2dp">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <stroke android:width="@dimen/px02"
                    android:color="@color/white" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</layer-list>

and this is layout xml code.

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/gray333"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!!!"
        android:textColor="@color/black"
        android:background="@drawable/bg_category_border"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

and the result is this.

you can see the white bar on the left side.
and i want to make the bar size shorter top and bottom as high as the TextView's text.(the red line)
i tried to give a padding and size in the drawable.xml.
and i set android:includeFontPadding on the TextView.
but it didn't work.
how can i make it??

Answer 1

i was able to do it like this

It was little bit tricky to remove padding from bottom and top, but you can try the following xml and do some adjustments as u like.

bg_category_border.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item >
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <stroke
                android:width="1dp"
                android:color="@color/white" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</layer-list>

layout xml

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#3C3C3C"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        android:background="@drawable/bg_category_border"
        >

        <TextView
            android:textSize="50sp"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Hello World!!!"
            android:includeFontPadding="false"
            android:layout_marginBottom="-8dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="-10dp"
            android:textColor="@color/black"
            />
    </LinearLayout>
