java - How do I reduce the inner padding around the text within an Android button object? -

so, @ moment have button looks first image above. how reduce padding around text inside button (to more second image)?

layout width , height set as:

android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" 

the custom style shape has parameters"

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp"> 

with rest being color attributes , radii values.

just make clear, want frame of button hug "login" text closer.

all , feedback appreciated. thanks.

it took me forever find "padding" around text in button isn't padding @ all. default widget.button style includes minheight property. changing minheight on button allow adjust padding expected.

<button         android:id="@+id/header"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:text="@string/test"         android:textcolor="@color/black"         android:minheight="40dip"/>   <style name="widget.holo.button" parent="widget.button">     <item name="android:background">@android:drawable/btn_default_holo_dark</item>     <item name="android:textappearance">?android:attr/textappearancemedium</item>     <item name="android:textcolor">@android:color/primary_text_holo_dark</item>     <item name="android:minheight">48dip</item>     <item name="android:minwidth">64dip</item> </style>
