Remove bottom padding on widgets

Question

As you can see in the link below there is an extra padding (around 2mm) below the EditText field. I can't seem to remove this padding in anyway. This occurs with other widgets as well (like Buttons). It looks like Android is default adding this extra padding to all elements.

Answer 1

I suspect that is a function of the background image. Specifically, textfield*.9.png would appear to be your culprits (5 total images). You could take those images from your SDK, eliminate the extra padding, create a custom StateListDrawable that references them, and so forth.
