Question: I had a strange problems during the set padding to `EditText`. xml looks like this:

```
<EditText
    android:layout_width="270dp"
    android:layout_height="55dp"
    android:ems="10"
    android:id="@+id/etEmail"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
    android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
    android:hint="Or Use your Email"
    android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView6"
    android:layout_alignStart="@+id/textView6"
    android:textColorHint="#FFFFFF"
    android:background="@drawable/line_white"
    android:paddingLeft="16.5dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
    android:paddingRight="2dp" />

```

Here is the screenshot from Samsung Note 2 (Android 5.0.1):

... and LG G3 (Android 4.4.2):

As you can see, `android:paddingLeft` doesn't work for LG.

What could be the reason?

Thanks.

Answer: 
I've noticed this on the HTC One X. This doesn't fix your particular issue, but changing `paddingStart` to `paddingLeft` worked for me.
This is dpi device problem. Make use of "dimen" folder, give different dp for various device screen sizes. Sure this will solve your problem.

```
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/yourValueName"

```
