Android Question increase the space between label border and label text

[Mario Krsnic]

Hello everybody,
if I set the label border by code or in designer in each case the label text touches the border. Is it possible to change this increasing the space between?
Thanks

you can change the padding property in the designer of the edittext or label in question . The dropdown allows you to change the left, top, right and bottom spacing

Another option, relevant for cross platform layouts, is to put the label in a panel and make the label transparent.

Thank you, Erel! Yes I considered this possibility, I could have done it this way, but in the actual context it is easier and simplier to perfom the task setting padding values.
