There are two key elements to solve the problem you are currently facing: margin and padding.

Here's a basic difference between them:

Padding separates a view's contents from the boundaries of that view.
Margin separates a view from the immediate parent.


Here's a potential solution:

The image above has a significant margin (left and right) and a little padding. Therefore, you need to adjust the following attributes:
padding_start
padding_end
margin_start
margin_end

Also, remember to set the gravity of the TextView to center.

Use this sample:

<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:justificationMode="inter_word" />

This is the command: android:justificationMode="inter_word"
