Change the checked and unchecked icons for the checkbox for Android

Question

Instead of having a checkmark for the icon, I want a regular star (I have marked and marked icons). Can this be done through ownership? Or should I declare a custom widget that comes from the checkbox?

Answer 1

Type of mixture:

Install it in the layout file: -

<CheckBox android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="new checkbox" android:background="@drawable/checkbox_background" android:button="@drawable/checkbox" /> 

where the @ drawable / checkbox will look like this:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:state_checked="true" android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_on_background_focus_yellow" /> <item android:state_checked="false" android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_off_background_focus_yellow" /> <item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_off_background" /> <item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_on_background" /> </selector> 

Answer 2

it android:button="@drawable/selector_checkbox" to make it work

Answer 3

I understand that this is an old question, and the OP talks about using custom gx, which is not a mandatory “-looking” flag, but there is a fantastic resource for creating custom color assets here: http://kobroor.pl/

Just give him the relevant information, and he will lay out the graphics, complete with XML resources, which you can simply paste right into.

Answer 4

One alternative would be to use drawable / textview instead of the checkbox and manipulate it accordingly. I used this method to have my own verified and unverified images for the task application.
