AFAIK thats not doable, you can try the following

<RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <Switch
            android:id="@+id/switch_gprs"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:checked="false"
            android:paddingBottom="15dp"
            />

        <TextView

            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:checked="false"
            android:paddingBottom="15dp"
            android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/switch_gprs"
            android:text="sometext"/>


    </RelativeLayout>

Or you can do :

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <Switch
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="My Switch"/>

</LinearLayout>
