How to remove unwanted spaces at the right of CheckBox?

Question

I am working on a custom list view. I want to show a CheckBox at the custom view. There is no text for the CheckBox. I found it always have some spaces at the right of the CheckBox.

Here is my layout xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" android:background="#fa9654" android:paddingTop="65dp" android:paddingBottom="65dp">    <TextView android:id="@+id/bus_route_list_item_num"     android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="0dip"     android:gravity="center" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"     android:layout_weight="0.15"></TextView>  <TextView android:id="@+id/bus_route_list_item_station"     android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="0dip"     android:gravity="left" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"     android:layout_weight=".5"></TextView>   <TextView android:id="@+id/bus_route_list_item_fee"     android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="0dip"     android:gravity="center" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"     android:layout_weight=".15"></TextView>   <CheckBox android:id="@+id/bus_route_list_item_reminder" android:layout_height="wrap_content"      android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_weight=".20" android:gravity="center"      android:layout_gravity="center" android:paddingRight="0dp" android:paddingLeft="0dp"      android:paddingTop="0dp" android:paddingBottom="0dp" android:background="#0066ff"      android:text="" />  </LinearLayout> 

The result looks like:

As you can see there are some space at the right of the checkbox. What I want is put the checkbox at the middle of the blue area.

Is it possible to remove the unwanted space? thanks

Answer 1

by default, the Checkbox has minWidth and minHeight value

you can set its value to 0

<CheckBox     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:minWidth="0dp"     android:minHeight="0dp" /> 

The result will be like that without any extra spaces
