Android Question Reflection - get/set Padding - Different Devices

[lip]

I have installed the same app on two very similar devices ie both 1280x800 10.1 inch tablets on Android 4.2.2

I have used Reflection getPaddingLeft to return the amount of padding to the left of the text within a specific button view. On one device the padding is set to 1, on the second device the padding is set to 20.

Does anyone know where this setting comes from and how it can be different when installing the same app?

I guess I could now use Reflection to programmatically set the padding to 1 on all buttons but this seems a little inelegant. Is there a Default Padding setting somewhere, presumably device specific.

The padding is part of the default theme and styles. Different devices use different styles.
