That is not a good idea. This solution might only work for a single-line text. If there are multiple lines, you have to calculate which text goes into which line and add a space in front (plus if the current line's content gets to the next line after spacing, or if a word is too long for a single line). Additionally, one space might not be enough. So this only works in a very specific case.

Another solution is to increase the textbox width by a few dps and place the text in the center. This can be done in the activity Java file.

This hint was useful for my case. I needed to output 1-3 symbols and they were clipped from the sides. I didn't wanted to do anything complicated and universal with overriding classes. Adding spaces resolved my problem.
