Align text left, checkbox right

Question

I\'m trying to create a layout for a ListView, with a checkbox to the right and some text to the left. The checkbox should be aligned all the way to the right and the TextV

Answer 1

And to get the checkbox's box to the right , in check box attributes

android:button="@null"
android:drawableRight="?android:attr/listChoiceIndicatorMultiple"

Answer 2

Just set the switch: Layout Parameters -> Width to "match_parent"

originally it's "wrap_content"

Answer 3

My solution in this case is to use:

<CheckBox
...
    android:button="@null"
    android:drawableRight="@drawable/my_check"
...
/>

where my_radio could be for example you custom selector! Example of selector could be:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@drawable/check_checked" />
    <item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="@drawable/check_unchecked" />
</selector>

Answer 4

You can achieve this by adding layoutDirection to "rtl"

<CheckBox
            android:id="@+id/checkbox"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="right|center"
            android:layoutDirection="rtl"
            android:text="@string/declare_info_correct" />

Answer 5

Since you are already using a RelativeLayout, make use of it's attributes:

Remove android:gravity from the children and replace them with android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" for the TextView and android:layout_alignParentRight="true" for the CheckBox.

That positions the children relative to the parents borders. You may also want to add android:layout_centerVertical="true" to each child to center the two vertical within each list item.

For further options and attributes see the documentation.

Answer 6

At the basis of Oibaf it's or MSaudi's solution

android:button="@null"
android:drawableRight="?android:attr/listChoiceIndicatorMultiple"

to add

android:paddingLeft="0dp"

to avoid the empty space at the checkbox left side in some device. The source link:
