I have 1-inch tall text, but the box with the image takes 1.5 inches, so a quarter of an inch above black and white lettering is a quarter of an inch. I want to reduce this 1/4 inch so that I can get 5 lines of text on my 6-inch screen instead of 4. I can move them closer to the android: lineSpacingMultiplier = ". 66", but it just moves the boxes closer together and 1 / 4 inches of black space covers the text of a nearby line. android: includeFontPadding = "false" does nothing. Negative padding does nothing. The insert in android: lineSpacingExtra = "- 50sp" also just has a black edge covering the adjacent line of text. I want to get rid of the field (in fact, only in most cases).
I tried every option that I can think of, including the obvious additions and the fields and additions discussed above, including zero and negative numbers. I cannot find a simple diagram showing what controls the space in the view over the actual text.
How to reduce this wasted space?
(my internet has been in the last 2 hours, so it took me a while to answer. Sorry)
Here is my XML:

In this screenshot, you will see that the border or area around the background is the area I want to reduce.
