As per this answer ,if you have custom background set on EditText the android:padding attribute simple doesn't work to alter the spacing b/w the hint text and edit text .So if you have set custom background to your AppCompatEditText, you can use android:translationY attribute in the AppCompatEditText

Please add below line in your AppCompatEditText.

android:translationY="10dp"

hope you got your answer :)
