For a game I'm using TextView which has a background and right aligned text. Well I don't want the text to show up in the absolute right but a bit away from the border. So I've tried to add a whitespace in the end of text ( tvTextView.setText(textToBeAdded + ' '); )

The problem is that when I use whitespace as first or last character they are being trimmed automatically. I don't want to use dummy view as back ground and TextView over it, because I think those things are going to decrease performance on old devices. Thank you for any suggestion.

Using tvTextView.setPadding(0, 0, GLRenderer.dpW[5], 0); solved the problem. Still I would like to be able to use space in the end and at the begining of text...
