    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/streetViewImage"
        android:src="@drawable/streetview"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="left"
        android:paddingLeft="20dp"
        android:paddingRight="15dp"
        android:spacing="15dp" />
</LinearLayout>

this is my java code

 ImageView Image = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.navImage);
 Image.setImageResource(R.drawable.navigation);
 Image.setSpacing(5);

Any help is appreciated

set left margin inspite of spacing and padding like `android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"` — Nishant, Nov 09 '12 at 06:55
@Nishant..hi with android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" i am getting spacing only for first image ...rest are still close to each other — teekib, Nov 09 '12 at 07:17
add `android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"` to all the other `ImageView` also. — Nishant, Nov 09 '12 at 07:58
