User · Accepted Answer

I can t think of a way with the styling  but you could just set the text of the checkbox to nothing  and put a TextView to the left of the checkbox with your desired text

furthermore from Hazhir imput  for this issue is necessary inject that property in the checkbox xml configuration android paddingLeft  0dp   this is for avoid the empty space at the checkbox left side

If it is not mandatory to use a CheckBox you could just use a Switch instead  A Switch shows the text on the left side by default

I think it s too late to answer this question  but actually there is a way to achieve your goal  You just need to add the following line to your checkbox   android button   null  android drawableRight   android attr listChoiceIndicatorMultiple    You can use your customized drawable for checkbox as well   And for a radioButton   android button   null  android drawableRight   android drawable btn radio    And if you want to do it programmatically   Define a layout and name it RightCheckBox and copy the following lines     lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt CheckBox xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      android text  hello      android layout width  match parent       android layout height  match parent      android button   null      android drawableRight   android attr listChoiceIndicatorMultiple   gt    and when you need to add it programmatically you just need to inflate it to a CheckBox and add it to the root view   CheckBox cb    CheckBox   LayoutInflater getSystemService LAYOUT INFLATER SERVICE   inflate R layout check right checkbox null   rootView addView cb
