Custom Button Text Alignment

Question

I have a Button in Xamarin.Android, and I need to offset the text content from it's default position. My first thought was to use paddingTop & paddingBottom, but the Button seems to ignore them. Why is the Button ignoring paddingTop & paddingBottom, and how can I offset/position the text content of my Button? Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Test with the following simple code , it work fine .

   <Button  
           android:text="abc"  
           android:layout_width="200dp"  
           android:layout_height="200dp"  
           android:paddingBottom="100dp"  
           />  

I suspect you set the same value on paddingTop & paddingBottom , in this cause the text position would not change .
