Android - Remove checkbox default padding

To remove the default padding around a CheckBox in Android, you can create a custom drawable for the CheckBox background without any padding. Here's how you can achieve it:

  1. Create a custom drawable for the CheckBox background:

    In your project's res/drawable directory, create a new XML file (e.g., checkbox_custom_background.xml) with the following content:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:state_checked="true"> <shape android:shape="rectangle"> <!-- Set your custom background color here --> <solid android:color="@android:color/holo_blue_light"/> </shape> </item> <item android:state_checked="false"> <shape android:shape="rectangle"> <!-- Set your custom background color here --> <solid android:color="@android:color/white"/> </shape> </item> </selector>

    This XML defines a selector that changes the background color of the CheckBox based on its checked state. You can adjust the colors as needed.

  2. Apply the custom drawable to your CheckBox:

    In your layout XML file where you define the CheckBox, set the android:background attribute to point to your custom drawable resource:

    <CheckBox android:id="@+id/myCheckBox" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/checkbox_custom_background" android:text="My CheckBox"/>

    Replace @drawable/checkbox_custom_background with the name of your custom drawable XML file.

With this setup, your CheckBox should have a custom background without any default padding. Adjust the XML drawable as needed to achieve the desired appearance.
