Set/Remove padding, shadow etc

[bhapps]

Hi @jrvansuita nice librarie.

I wish to see implemented the ability to remove padding from the view.
Cant see where this being set in my app.
Does the about view always stretch full width?
Does padding get added by default?

if not, would like to see something like the below;

AboutBuilder.with(activity)
.setPadding(-10)//padding
.setElevation(1) //shadow
.setMargin(-1) //margin
...
...
build();

Thanks my friend. Feel free to help me with this. Try me a pull request, or give me some time to do it.

Thanks for quick response. Will see how I go.
So it does get padding added by default?

Please see main/res/layout/xab_about_layout.xml which has all the padding, margin settings for the libraries I believe

Yes, It should be set by the Builder, but it's not. Today, I have it fixed in the layout xml. We need to bring this configurations to java, and set it programmatically.

Yes is see this for other .set() - like divider line height etc values done in the java files, which in turn edit the layout xmls as such yeah.

Was able to remove Margin on the CardView inside the build(); using below
Was able to remove Margin & padding to have view spread full width on the CardView inside the build(); using below

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       //...
      //...

      try {

    CardView layout = (CardView)findViewById(R.id.card_holder);
    CardView.LayoutParams params = new CardView.LayoutParams(CardView.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, CardView.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    params.setMargins(0,0,0,0);

        //updates
        //remove Shadow
        layout.setCardElevation(0);
        //remove radius
        layout.setRadius(0);
        //remove further padding
        layout.setUseCompatPadding(false);
        layout.setMaxCardElevation(0);
        layout.setPreventCornerOverlap(false);


        layout.setLayoutParams(params);

   }catch(Exception error_about) {

         //show my error in the ui
         //log error via error_about

     }
    //...
    //..

}

Should wrap this in try{//the card view}catch(){//error, hide ui stuff, show error}; just incase the card_holder of other elements are not found/exception ...
