UPDATE: this only works from API 17 onwards...

As per my answer on this question: - how can we reduce the size of checkbox please give me an idea

CheckBox derives its height from the TEXT as well as the image.

Set these properties in your XML:

android:text=""
android:textSize="0sp"

Of course this only works if you want no text (worked for me).

Without these changes, the CheckBox was giving me a big margin around my image, as mentioned by Joe

setWidth(int) and setHeight(int) since CheckBox extends CompoundButton which extends Button

Try referring to this tutorial

Alernatively try changing it via the XML:

<CheckBox 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="new checkbox" 
    android:background="@drawable/my_checkbox_background"
    android:button="@drawable/my_checkbox" />

Simply use setWidth(w) and setHeight(h) functions as you would for a normal Button.
