CodePudding user response：

The size of the buttons is as expected - their width and height wrap the button's text completely. The problem is probably with your custom background @drawable/roundtext which makes the buttons look a little weird.

CodePudding user response：

Try giving some padding to the button.

The padding is expressed in pixels for the left, top, right and bottom parts of the view. Padding can be used to offset the content of the view by a specific number of pixels. For instance, a left padding of 2 will push the view’s content by 2 pixels to the right of the left edge. The inner space of an element i.e.padding is space inside the element’s border.

So, either you can try adding

android:padding="5dp"

where padding is added for all four sides ,or you can try adding padding specific to your required sides like below.

android:paddingStart="5dp"
android:paddingEnd="5dp"

So, your code may look like something as given below.

<Button
    android:id="@ id/button3"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/roundtext"
    android:text="Login"
    android:paddingStart="5dp"
    android:paddingEnd="5dp"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.185"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.584" />
