implement content edge insets button android

Question

This is rather tough for me. I am trying to implement the content edge insets feature found in the ios for android button. I believe this enables positioning of the content inside the button based on top, bottom, left and right values. Does anyone have a clue?

Answer 1

Use the attributes:

android:paddingTop
android:paddingBottom
android:paddingLeft
android:paddingRight

This controls the amount of 'empty' space between the border of the button and the text.
