Question

I’ve created custom dialog (from xml file), like below:

<LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  android:orientation="vertical"
  android:minWidth="280dip">
   <Spinner android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/subscription_quality"
    android:prompt="@string/subscription_quality_prompt">
    </Spinner>
</LinearLayout>

Now spinner width is equal to the width of the dialog (“fill_parent“).
I would like to add indents on the left and right, but looks like paddingLeft and paddingRight has no effect.

Answer 1

Ok, found two solutions:

1. change layout_height to fixed value
   260dip
2. use android:layout_marginLeft/Right.
