@Amritkumar .. I did try the `lineSpacing extra` .... like ..... `android:lineSpacingExtra="-3dp" android:lineSpacingMultiplier="0.5"` .... didn't resolve it ....is something i need to change — Devrath, Jul 06 '18 at 05:53
This is default padding which TextView uses and can not solved by android:lineSpacingExtra. You need to try removing that default padding from TextView. I think that attribute is something like includeFontPadding — Pankaj Kumar, Jul 06 '18 at 05:58

Try this one

android:includeFontPadding="false"
android:lineSpacingExtra="5dp"

you can use the spacing according to your need.
