This is probably because the EditText still inherits an android:background value from the default system Theme, because the textViewStyle doesn't force a @null background.
Try adding an explicit android:background="@null", which should remove the EditText 9-patch frame and any padding that comes with it. j On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 5:19 PM, n5r11 <nikolaradosavlje...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I've tried all that you suggested, and nothing happens?
