How can we reduce the size of checkbox? Please give me an idea.

UPDATE: this only works from API 17 onwards...

CheckBox derives its height from the TEXT as well as the image.

Set these properties in your XML:

android:text=""
android:textSize="0sp"

Of course this only works if you want no text (worked for me).

Without these changes, the CheckBox was giving me a big margin around my image, as mentioned by Joe Plante.
