Question

I’ve got an EditText with my own style. Basically it’s a border for the EditText. The problem is that the text starts over this border so it’s not very nice. Is there a way of set the starting point of the text in an EditText?

Answer 1

give padding at starting side in layout like this

<EditText 
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  ...
  android:paddingLeft="10dp"
/>
