Custom Checkbox Image Android

Custom checkbox image android

Checkboxes being children of Button you can just give your checkbox a background image with several states as described here, under "Button style":

...and exemplified here:

Defining custom-checkbox in android

use this code

select.xml in drawable folder

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

        <solid android:color="#ffffff" >
        </solid>

        <stroke
            android:width="2dp"
            android:color="#ff0000" >
        </stroke>
<corners android:radius="5dp" />

    <padding
        android:bottom="4dp"
        android:left="4dp"
        android:right="4dp"
        android:top="4dp" />
    </shape>

deselect.xml in drawable folder

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

        <solid android:color="#ffffff" >
        </solid>

        <stroke
            android:width="2dp"
            android:color="#000000" >
        </stroke>
    <corners android:radius="5dp" />

    <padding
        android:bottom="4dp"
        android:left="4dp"
        android:right="4dp"
        android:top="4dp" />
    </shape>

and custom checkbox

public class checkbox extends CheckBox{



    public checkbox(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
            super(context, attrs);
            //setButtonDrawable(new StateListDrawable());
        }
        @Override
        public void setChecked(boolean t){
            if(t)
            {
                this.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.select);
            }
            else
            {
                this.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.deselect);
            }
            super.setChecked(t);
        }
        }

checkbox

 <com.example.checkbox.checkbox
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:button="@null"
        android:checked="true"
        android:text="checked" />

you can change color in select.xml and deselect.xml to thing that you want

Android replace checkbox style with custom drawable selector

Use below line of code, i think it will work

yourcheckbox.setButtonDrawable(yourdrawable); 

Custom checkbox image - but can still see original?

The attribute you want to change is button, not background.

First, design your custom graphics for different button states. Use a state list drawable (docs) to associate the various images. For example:

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

Save this into your drawable resources folder, something like my_checkbox.xml.

Now, use the button attribute on your checkbox layout definition:

<CheckBox
    android:id="@+id/checkBox1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:focusable="false"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:button="@drawable/my_checkbox"
    android:enabled="false" />

Customize Android Check Box

You need two drawables with desired look of the checkboxes and define drawable selector, like it's described here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/7783892/1099716

There are plenty VectorDrawable icon generators as well as png generators which can be used as drawables. One of them can be found here: https://materialdesignicons.com/

There is also VectorDrawable compat for android 14+ https://github.com/wnafee/vector-compat

For more info regarding drawables usage take a look at the following tutorial http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidDrawables/article.html

Android - Custom multi-click Checkbox with Images

As stated in the PSS, I only had the idea for the solution when I was typing the question above. I've used an ImageButton that changes it's source when it's clicked. Here is the code:

ImageButton in xml:

<ImageButton
    android:id="@+id/ibtnCheckbox"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:contentDescription="@string/checkbox_content_description"
    android:src="@drawable/checkbox_unchecked"
    android:background="@drawable/transparent_button_background" />

transparent_button_background.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_selected="true" android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" />
    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" />
    <item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" />
</selector>

Activity:

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
    private ImageButton cbButton;
    private int status;
    private int checkbox_images[] = {
        R.drawable.checkbox_unchecked,
        R.drawable.checkbox_checked,
        R.drawable.checkbox_error,
        R.drawable.checkbox_partly
    };

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        status = 0;
        addListenerToButton();
    }

    private void addListenerToButton(){
        cbButton = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.ibtnCheckbox);
        cbButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v){
                switch(status){
                    // Unchecked -> Green checked
                    case 0:
                    // Green checked -> Red cross
                    case 1:
                    // Red cross -> Orange-yellow checked
                    case 2:
                        cbButton.setImageResource(checkbox_images[++status]);
                        break;
                    // Orange-yellow checked -> Unchecked
                    case 3:
                        cbButton.setImageResource(checkbox_images[status = 0]);
                        break;
                    // Default (just in case)
                    default:
                        status = 0;
                        cbButton.setImageResource(checkbox_images[status++]);
                        break;
                }
            }
        });
    }

    ...
}
