        android:id="@+id/login_user_name"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingLeft="10dp"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/imageview_user_image_1"
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"

did you try adding `android:layout_marginLeft="0dp"`, `android:layout_marginRight="0dp"`, `android:layout_marginTop="0dp"`, `android:layout_marginBottom="0dp"` ? — Mario Stoilov, Feb 24 '14 at 14:19

As per Mario Stoilov Said, try this code

 <ImageView 
    android:id="@+id/imageview_user_image_1"
    android:layout_width="23dp"
    android:layout_height="23dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="0dp"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:scaleType="fitXY"
    android:background="@drawable/home_icon"/>
<EditText 
    android:id="@+id/login_user_name"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/imageview_user_image_1"
    android:layout_marginLeft="0dp"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:textColorHint="#808080"
    android:hint="hi"/>

by Changing to this android:layout_marginLeft="0dp" hope this helps you.
