Add margin between a RadioButton and its label in Android?

Question

Is it possible to add a little bit of space between a RadioButton and the label while still using Android\'s built-in components? By default the text looks a little scrunche

Answer 1

i tried several ways and finished with this one working correctly on both emulator and devices:

• android:background needs to be transparent as it seems on api10 there is a background with intrinsic paddings (not tried with other apis but the solution works on others too)
• android:button needs to be null as paddings will not work correctly otherwise
• android:drawableLeft needs to be specified instead of android:button
• android:drawablePadding is the space that will be between your drawable and your text
