I have many RadioButtons in my app. The RadioButtons are too big for me. Is there any way to make them smaller?

One quick hacky solution is to scale the button down:

<RadioButton
  android:scaleX="0.5"
  android:scaleY="0.5" />

This works great for going smaller.

For going larger, this tends to cause some clipping from the container View, so you'll likely have to hardcode the height/width of the RadioGroup to fit the scaled buttons. The button drawable can also get noticeably pixelated the larger you go, so it's not really great if you want something 3x larger...
