Android, how to add some right padding to text in a spinner? - android

I'm developing an Android app (API level 8).
How do I add some right padding to the style of spinners layout?
With the default (Theme.black) style, the right arrow box is placed too close to the end of text in the (closed) spinner.

In your xml, use the android:paddingRight attribute.

In your XML file for the layout, use, for example
android:layout_marginLeft="5dip"

Removing icon from BottomNavigationView

I want my menu items on the BottomNavigationBar to have text-only labels with no icon. Unfortunately, it looks like design_bottom_navigation_item.xml always has a 24x24dp space reserved for the icon, with no publicly-exposed way to set it to gone. And even after getting past that, the label layout is set to a layout_gravity of bottom|center_horizontal, and it doesn't look like there's a way to programatically set layout_gravity to centered.
What is the fastest, easiest way to achieve the goal of a text-only menu item on the bottom nav bar? I'm thinking I can do this by creating a custom version of the item layout, then subclassing BottomNavigationItemView, BottomNavigationMenuView, and BottomNavigationView to specify that custom layout... but that seems like an awful lot of work for one little change. Am I missing something simpler?
dont put iandroid:icon property to your item
Just use the code below. I tried hard to do this easy way but failed.Then I made an alternative. Just use transparent color instead of icon drawble
<item
android:icon="#android:color/transparent"
android:id="#+id/navigation_id"
android:title="title" />
Add this in your dimens file. Then you can add padding according to your navigation view size.
<dimen name="design_bottom_navigation_height"tools:override="true">30dp</dimen>

DrawableLeft attribute on spinner on Android?

When you have a Button for example, you can use android:drawableLeft to make it an icon at the left of the button:
Now, is there an attribute to use it on spinner? android:drawableLeft is not an attribute in Spinner, so is it possible to have the same result, but in a Spinner?
This is an unsupported attribute for Spinner. You must use a third-party library or make your own XML template for it.

TextView with custom font isn't centered vertically

I need to use a custom font (VAG Rounded, probably not relevant) but the font changes how my TextViews react.
In the image below, you can see the two textviews with a black background. The left one use the custom font, the right one the default system font (Roboto ?). Both of them have the same xml properties and size, but the padding is not the same and more important, the left one isn't centered vartically !
How can I make the TextView draw its content well centered ?
You can try to remove your customs font padding from your text style (styles.xml):
<item name="android:includeFontPadding">false</item>
If this still doesn't work, i would set a general padding in your styles xml.
I think that you have to set android:layout_height="match_parent" and then also android:gravity="center"
then if you post also your source code we can give you more information
I could not change the font, and I wasn't going to edit each character using an editor (I don't even know what I should have done to fix it).
Si I ended up measure the difference with the default font and I added 0.15f * fontSize in the padding top...

Android :Button drawable Top

I want to create metro UI, so I did like in the picture But the problem is the position of the icons, they are in the top of the button, and I don't think it's aesthetic interface. I inserted the icons in the drawable Top in the button. Well how can make the a little bit in the middle.
You have to set the android:paddingTop and android:paddingBottom eqaully. Just don't copy and paste 10dp as the value of the padding. Value depends on the size of your button. Refer to below:
<Button
android:id="#+id/find_teacher"
style="#style/page_button"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/ic_search_light"
android:text="#string/find_teacher"
android:paddingTop="10dp"
android:paddingBottom="10dp"/>
This is the output:
I can remember 2 options:
top padding
gravity
You might wan't to check the layout documentation

Remove RadioButton Icon Android

Is there a way to totally remove the Icon from a RadioButton?
I'm bolding the text instead of using the icon.
Setting android:button to either #null or #android:color/transparent
only hides the button and still messes up my test positioning.
I suppose that I could use a dummy view that's only 1dip big, but I wanted to check if there was less of a hack.
Try setting the background and button to #null.
set android:button="#null" will remove the default radio icon
