title: TextView taking/consuming too much space above and below the text
body: <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/r6wKo.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>The text view encircled has too much space above and below its text. It is inside the text view (not above and below of it). I neither used margins nor paddings but it is remained there. The xml code is there. </p>

      &lt;/TableRow&gt;

  <p>This tableRow is a child of a RelativeLayout which is further a child of ScrollView. And the space is only due to textview i.e. its neither due to imageviews nor tablerow.</p>
