How can I add padding on background image? | Android

Question

I added an image on my button with android:drawableTop line. But image is too much above, I want to add padding to my background drawable image. How can I do that?

Image

<Button
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="165dp"
            android:text="take note"
            android:textAllCaps="false"
            android:id="@+id/button"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:drawableTop="@drawable/note_al"
            android:background="#51A39D"
            android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
            android:textSize="30dp" />

Can you edit your question to say *exactly* where you want padding in relation to your drawable and button? Can also maybe show some images showing what you want? — Doug Stevenson, Feb 21 '16 at 19:49

@KaanKaraca where *exactly* do you want the padding? All around the image? Or just in between the button and the image? Please be specific what your "before" and "after" looks like. — Doug Stevenson, Feb 21 '16 at 20:05
Interesting but I solved my problem. `android:paddingTop` works for me. — Kaan Karaca, Feb 21 '16 at 20:21

Try using android:drawablePadding.
