How to decrease the Width and Height of CheckBox in Android.

Question

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to reduce the width and height of CheckBox in order to display very small CheckBox in Android ?

Thanks In Advance,

Answer 1

setWidth(int) and setHeight(int) since CheckBox extends CompoundButton which extends Button

Try referring to this tutorial

Alernatively try changing it via the XML:

<CheckBox 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="new checkbox" 
    android:background="@drawable/my_checkbox_background"
    android:button="@drawable/my_checkbox" />

Answer 2

Simply use setWidth(w) and setHeight(h) functions as you would for a normal Button.
