Padding is the spacing between the view's bounds and its content. Margin is the spacing outside the view's bounds which cannot be occupied by any other view. In your case, you are using padding where you should be using margins. — nstosic, Mar 09 '15 at 15:52
I think using a list view or recycler view will be more efficient here. Are you sure you want to stick to this way of doing it ? — Kushal Sharma, Mar 09 '15 at 15:54
Ya actually i can't take it to a list view cause there's lot of things i need to add dynamically — Ishara Asheni, Mar 09 '15 at 16:00
yeah i got the answer by giving a height value to textviews! Thank you! — Ishara Asheni, Mar 09 '15 at 16:04

You can add a margin to image like this

GridView.LayoutParams params = new GridView.LayoutParams(85, 85);
params.setMargins(1, 1, 1, 1);
image.setLayoutParams(params);

if you have an ImageView inside of a GridView, you need to supply the method with GridView.LayoutParams like that etc..

You can add a TextView(add width=10dp and height=Xdp, here X is your required gap between those images) which does not contain any text after every BulbImage. Those TextView will help you to manage gap between images.

You can also add bottom margin to all images.
