How to put space between switch button and its text in android?

I had the same issue, but for me the accepted answer of Sravan Sriram did not solve the problem.

What worked for me was the tag

android:switchPadding = "10dp" 

Minimum space between the switch and caption text. docs

Sure, kindly use this

android:switchPadding="5dp"

If you are using androidx.appcompat.widget.SwitchCompat then use app:switchPadding="8dp". This is work for me
