You can change the layout to RelativeLayout or ConstraintLayout to align this switch to the parent right.

Or use the built-in PreferenceScreen which is designed & recommended for settings activity. Ex:

<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <PreferenceCategory
        android:key="setting_title_notifications"
        android:title="Notifications">

    <CheckBoxPreference
        android:id="@+id/setting_vibrate"
        android:key="setting_vibrate"
        android:title="Vibrate"
        android:summary="Vibrate on new notification" />
    </PreferenceCategory>
</PreferenceScreen>
