Here, check this out: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2151241/android-how-to-change-checkbox-size I think the trick is to use `wrap_content` for the layout width and height for the checkbox. — ACluelessProgramer, Feb 27 '15 at 00:56
nothing works until now - a custom Checkbox hmmm, maybe there is another easy way — Chad White, Feb 27 '15 at 09:31
Try to resize the `dp` on both the `layout_height` and `layout_width` like this: ` android:layout_width ="1dp"` or whatever size you want it. — ACluelessProgramer, Feb 28 '15 at 00:21
Yeah - you are my hero :)) - 1dp / 1dp they are vanished ;) - but width 40 height 20 will do the trick - thanks for this — Chad White, Feb 28 '15 at 09:27

Change the dp on the layout_height and layout_width of the checkbox(or really anything else) to get the size you need. For example:

<Checkbox
 android:layout_width="1dp"
 android:layout_height="1dp"
 android:id="@+id/checkBox"/>

in the item you wish to re-size.

Another option is to use custom check boxes, more info here: Android: How to change CheckBox size?
