java - How to set text position to the right of a Switch (like CheckBox)

Question

How to set the text position to the right of a Switch without align a Switch and a TextView in a LinearLayout ? I tried to override the CheckBox button style in my style.xml button but I don't know how to get the Switch button reference ?

Answer 1

Two ways are there but as negative padding is not recommended so the 2nd way.

=> Using a separate text view

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:paddingTop="10dp"
            android:paddingBottom="10dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">
            <Switch
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:id="@+id/switch1" />
            <TextView
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:text="This is a switch"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
        </LinearLayout>

EDIT - There's no direct way but using Negative padding, A parent Layout or Any custom library. See here and here.
Forget this and use this library.
