If you want to leave space outside the border of text/button and next view elements you can use android:layout_marginLeft, android:layout_marginRight, android:layout_marginTop and android:layout_marginBottom.

If you want to leave space between border of the text/button and actual content of the text/button you can use android:paddingLeft, android:paddingRight, android:paddingTop and android:paddingBottom.

For more info check out this question how to increase the space between the elements in linearlayout in android?

You should use margins to seperate different components in your layout. An example of how this would look in your XML is: android:layout_marginTop="12dp"
