How to customize a set drawable position CheckedTextView?

        TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs,
                R.styleable.CheckedTextView, defStyle, 0);

        Drawable d = a.getDrawable(R.styleable.CheckedTextView_checkMark);

            int y = 0;

            switch (verticalGravity) {

            int right = getWidth();
            checkMarkDrawable.setBounds(
                    right - mCheckMarkWidth - mBasePaddingRight,

                    right - mBasePaddingRight, 
                    y + height);
            checkMarkDrawable.draw(canvas);
        }

        }
        return drawableState;
    }

    @Override

            // Set the state of the Drawable
            mCheckMarkDrawable.setState(myDrawableState);

            invalidate();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean dispatchPopulateAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent event) {
        boolean populated = super.dispatchPopulateAccessibilityEvent(event);
        if (!populated) {
            event.setChecked(mChecked);
        }
        return populated;
    }
}

As indicated above, checkMarkDrawable is Gravity position in the Canvas to determine the location. My question is: How can change checkMarkDrawable the location, for example to set checkMarkDrawable in a TextView on the left.

Answer 1

Use drawableRight instead of checkMarkDrawable in xml.

Answer 2

If you want the checkbox to be on the left, simply just use a CheckBox. Maybe it is not matter of course, but a CheckBox can contain text. You can define that text by adding an XML attribute android:text, or by calling the setText() method. Actually CheckBox is inherited from Button, which inherits from TextView, that's why it has all the text-related properties.
