Android - Spacing between CheckBox and text

Question

Is there an easy way to add padding between the checkbox in a CheckBox control, and the associated text?

I cannot just add leading spaces, because my label is multi-

Answer 1

Checkbox image was overlapping when I used my own drawables from selector, I have solve this using below code :

CheckBox cb = new CheckBox(mActivity);
cb.setText("Hi");
cb.setButtonDrawable(R.drawable.check_box_selector);
cb.setChecked(true);
cb.setPadding(cb.getPaddingLeft(), padding, padding, padding);
