How I can align icon next to text of MaterialButton with defined padding?












0















Hello I ran into problem with aligning icon in material button on Android. I have button with match_parent width, text and icon next to text. I want to align icon 8dp left to text and I tried do it by com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton app:iconGravity. But result was not as expected.

As you can see, with longer text, icon padding is smaller and smaller. I also tried define app:iconPadding (default is 8dp) but with same result.



Is this bug or I'm doing it wrong?
