Questions:
I need to put check to the right hand top corner of my imageview. But when I do this I noticed a default margin around my checkbox. Is there a way to remove this??
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" >
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/thumbImage"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="132dp"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
</FrameLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

How to&Answers:
You could use a negative margin.
android:layout_marginTop = "-5dp"
android:layout_marginRight = "-5dp"
Answer：
There’s now a better way of doing this:
android:minWidth="0dp"
android:minHeight="0dp"
Answer：
Thanks to @VladislavShcherbakov comment, it is:
android:paddingLeft="-5dp"
android:layout_marginStart="-5dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="-5dp"
// android:translationX="-5dp"
Answer：
Why to complicate with a negative padding and all. Use the simple and straight way, give padding to the FrameLayout instead tof the top most Relative layout that would do the trick. As you have only the CheckBox in the second layout there is no need to give padding for it.
Please do let me know if you face any problems or have any further doubts
