Hide radio button icon but not text
XML:
<RadioButton
android:paddingLeft="31dp"
android:button="@android:color/transparent" />
Java:
RadioButton myButton = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.radio);
myButton.setButtonDrawable(android.R.color.transparent);
myButton.setPadding(31, 0, 0, 0);
setPadding() takes int values that represent Padding in Pixels, see Definition@Google so adjust the Padding as required.
set android:button="@null"
will remove the default radio icon
<RadioButton
android:id="@+id/rb1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:button="@null"
android:text="Female" />
Old post, but it might help someone.
Setting android:button="@null"
didn't worked for me for older versions. The only way that I could hide the circle was setting this style to the RadioButton
<style name="Radio" parent="Widget.AppCompat.CompoundButton.RadioButton">
<item name="buttonCompat">@null</item> <!-- Key! -->
<item name="android:button">@null</item>
</style>
In order to hide the circle button, there is needed just declare the following
<RadioButton
app:buttonCompat="@null"
android:button="@android:color/transparent" />
