Android Chip Custom Height Or Padding - Chipgroup spacing

Is there a way to change default material Chip vertical padding or height? From the docs I see there surely is a way to set the minimal height, but I would like to make chips "thinner", like in this design:

Use setEnsureMinTouchTargetSize(false) to ensure the spacing is minimal.

Chip chip = new Chip(getContext());
    chip.setId(selectedWordGroup.id);
    chip.setText(selectedWordGroup.getName());
    chip.setTag(i);
    chip.setCheckable(true);
    chip.setCheckedIconVisible(false);
    chip.setChecked((mFlashcardSetupActivity.allWordGroups.get(i).getSelected()));
    chip.setClickable(true);
    chip.setFocusable(true);
    chip.setEnsureMinTouchTargetSize(false);
    chip.setChipDrawable(ChipDrawable.createFromAttributes(getContext(), null, 0, R.style.CustomChipChoice));

    chip.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton compoundButton, boolean selected) {
        }
    });
    mChipGroupGroups.addView(chip);




<com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup
                    android:id="@+id/chip_group_groups"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:padding="4dp"
                    card_view:chipSpacing="4dp"
                >

In order to make a Chip thinner, you need to adjust two properties: chip height and text size.

<style name="ThinnerChip" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Action">
    <item name="chipCornerRadius">12dp</item>
    <item name="chipMinHeight">24dp</item>
    <item name="android:textAppearance">@style/SmallerText</item>
</style>

<style name="SmallerText" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Small">
    <item name="android:textSize">11sp</item>
</style>

Then apply the style as ussually.

<com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
    style="@style/ThinnerChip"
    ...
    />

 //need or other way put parent ChipGroup LinearLayout and set h*W  
  //and  also width and height

 <com.google.android.material.chip.Chipandroid 
    android:paddingLeft="10dp" 
    android:paddingRight="10dp" 
    android:layout_width="10dp" 
    android:layout_height="10dp" 
    app:mcv_textColor="@color/white" />

If you add multiline Chip dynamically to ChipGroup until it expand to multiple rows, there is zero margin vertical margin. Set app:chipSpacingVertical on ChipGroup to enable margin spacing.

<com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup
    android:id="@+id/mainTagChipGroup"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:chipSpacingVertical="4dp"
    />

NOTE: You can set app:chipSpacingHorizontal or app:chipSpacing as well. NOTE: Strangely, default margin for static Chip defined in xml vs dynamic Chip added programatically is different. I am using com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0-alpha04. NOTE: Setting layoutParams on Chip doesn’t work.

You can use a custom style:

  <style name="MaterialComponents_Chip_Thin" parent="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Entry">
    <item name="chipMinHeight">24dp</item>
    <item name="chipMinTouchTargetSize">24dp</item>
    <item name="chipIconSize">18dp</item>
    <item name="android:textAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.MaterialComponents.Body2_Thin</item>
    <item name="shapeAppearanceOverlay">@style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MaterialComponents.Chip_Thin</item>
  </style>
  <style name="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MaterialComponents.Chip_Thin" parent="">
    <item name="cornerSize">12dp</item>
  </style>
  <style name="TextAppearance.MaterialComponents.Body2_Thin" parent="TextAppearance.MaterialComponents.Body2">
    <item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
  </style>

And apply it with:

    <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
        style="@style/MaterialComponents_Chip_Thin"
        .../>

using java code :

int paddingDp = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(
                TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 10,
                getResources().getDisplayMetrics()); 

        mChip.setPadding(paddingDp, 0, paddingDp, 0);

output :

In the 1.1.0-alpha* versions extra spacing is added for the chip. After a lot of hit and trial I managed to remove that spacing using:

app:chipMinTouchTargetSize="0dp"

Looking at the class file for Chip, it seems that it's related to Android's minimum touch target size, so consider that before changing this.

There's a very straightforward way to achieve what I want: all I needed to do was to set the android:layout_height attribute on the ChipGroup enclosing my chips.

I guess it makes sense that it's not possible to achieve that on a single chip... :>

You have to set the height of your Chip to make it "thinner".
Check below code:

build.gradle (app)

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0-rc01'

ic_vector_android.xml

<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:width="24dp"
        android:height="24dp"
        android:viewportWidth="24.0"
        android:viewportHeight="24.0">
    <path
        android:fillColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:pathData="M6,18c0,0.55 0.45,1 1,1h1v3.5c0,0.83 0.67,1.5 1.5,1.5s1.5,-0.67 1.5,-1.5L11,19h2v3.5c0,0.83 0.67,1.5 1.5,1.5s1.5,-0.67 1.5,-1.5L16,19h1c0.55,0 1,-0.45 1,-1L18,8L6,8v10zM3.5,8C2.67,8 2,8.67 2,9.5v7c0,0.83 0.67,1.5 1.5,1.5S5,17.33 5,16.5v-7C5,8.67 4.33,8 3.5,8zM20.5,8c-0.83,0 -1.5,0.67 -1.5,1.5v7c0,0.83 0.67,1.5 1.5,1.5s1.5,-0.67 1.5,-1.5v-7c0,-0.83 -0.67,-1.5 -1.5,-1.5zM15.53,2.16l1.3,-1.3c0.2,-0.2 0.2,-0.51 0,-0.71 -0.2,-0.2 -0.51,-0.2 -0.71,0l-1.48,1.48C13.85,1.23 12.95,1 12,1c-0.96,0 -1.86,0.23 -2.66,0.63L7.85,0.15c-0.2,-0.2 -0.51,-0.2 -0.71,0 -0.2,0.2 -0.2,0.51 0,0.71l1.31,1.31C6.97,3.26 6,5.01 6,7h12c0,-1.99 -0.97,-3.75 -2.47,-4.84zM10,5L9,5L9,4h1v1zM15,5h-1L14,4h1v1z"/>

            app:chipStrokeWidth="1dp"

            android:textColor="#ffffff"
            app:chipBackgroundColor="#636161"
            app:chipCornerRadius="10dp"
            app:closeIconEnabled="false" />

        <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
            style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Entry"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="20dp"
            android:checkable="false"
            android:text="Tomorrow"
            android:textAppearance="@style/Base.TextAppearance.AppCompat.Small"
            android:textColor="#ffffff"
            app:chipBackgroundColor="#636161"
            app:chipCornerRadius="10dp"
            app:chipIcon="@drawable/ic_vector_android"
            app:chipIconSize="14dp"
            app:chipStartPadding="8dp"
            app:closeIconEnabled="false" />
    </com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup>
</LinearLayout>

To get the thinner Chip I have to set the following properties:

android:layout_height="20dp" // Thinner Height
app:chipIconSize="14dp"      // Smaller icon size
app:chipStartPadding="8dp"   // Add padding to start of icon
app:chipCornerRadius="10dp"  // Set Corner radius
