How do I remove content padding from TextField?

Question

I am new to flutter and I am creating login form, for that I have used TextField and added prefix icon but I am getting some extra spaces in between textfields (user id and pin) and before the prefix icon. I have also tried InputDecorationTheme but it didn't work.

Please let me know how can I remove or reduce the space.??

Below is my code:

TextField(
  maxLength: 8,
  keyboardType: TextInputType.number,
  decoration: InputDecoration(
    hintText: hint,
    hintStyle: TextStyle(fontSize: 12.0),
    prefixIcon: Icon(icon),
    counterText: '',
  ),
)

You can use contentPadding of InputDecoration. Here is sample code

TextField(
   maxLines: 8,
   decoration: InputDecoration(
      contentPadding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 5),
      labelText: 'Description',
      labelStyle: txtHintStyle,
   )
 )
