On some devices padding on radio buttons and checkboxes is simply not supported. Android uses the padding attribute internally to place the text and the picture so changing the padding yourself messes it up.

Remove the padding and use margin on the containing layout instead.

The "padding" attribute that you used with your RadioButton applies only on the text. Besides, Android treats the RadioButton/CheckBox's circle as a drawable. ( You can see that there are drawableTop, drawableBottom, ... in a radiobutton) .

So, to apply padding on the circle, you should use "drawablePadding" attribute, as follows :

<RadioButton
                android:id="@+id/myMusic"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginBottom="3dp"
                android:drawablePadding="10dp" />
