Change Icons of Checked and Unchecked for Checkbox for Android

Change icons of checked and unchecked for Checkbox for Android

Kind of a mix:

Set it in your 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:

<?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>

How to Change checkBox button icon in Android?

Try this ,
Make this xml your drawable folder

custom_checkbox.xml

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

<item android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_inactive" android:state_checked="false"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_active" android:state_checked="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_inactive"/>

</selector>

and used this for programatically add drawable

yourcheckbox.setButtonDrawable(R.drawable.custom_checkbox);

and used this for xml

android:button="@drawable/custom_checkbox"

Android: Change CheckBoxPreference icon for checked/unchecked programmaticaly

Found the solution:

I used the method found in the link that I'd provided in the question to set a selector so that I could use that with all of my CheckBoxPreferences for the different images based on the current state of the checkbox:-

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

Accordingly, the CheckBoxPreference code changes as well:-

<CheckBox android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
android:text="new checkbox"
android:button="@drawable/checkbox"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="false" />

Now, I can call Checkbox.setChecked() to check whether it's enabled or not, and also to change it according to the values by setting it to true or false. So, according to the xml properties this will automatically change the icon as well.

Android replace checkbox style with custom drawable selector

Use below line of code, i think it will work

          android:state_enabled="true"
          android:drawable="@drawable/ic_action_important_holo_dark" />

    <item android:state_checked="false" android:state_window_focused="false"
          android:state_enabled="true"
          android:drawable="@drawable/ic_action_important" />

    <item android:state_checked="true" android:state_focused="true"
          android:state_enabled="true"
          android:drawable="@drawable/ic_action_important_holo_dark" />

    <item android:state_checked="false" android:state_focused="true"
          android:state_enabled="true"
          android:drawable="@drawable/ic_action_important" />

    <item android:state_checked="false"
          android:state_enabled="true"
          android:drawable="@drawable/ic_action_important" />

    <item android:state_checked="true"
          android:state_enabled="true"
          android:drawable="@drawable/ic_action_important_holo_dark" />

</selector>

Checkbox bad display when checked or unchecked

Update

This problem was fixed in com.android.support v.28.0.0, but if you don't want to upgrade, you can look at the solution below.

---

Since I didn't manage to fix my problem, I created my own selector for checkboxes.

1. In res/drawable/cbx_selector:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!--Used for cbx check problem-->
<!--layer-list needed for paddings-->
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <!--Initial state-->
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_baseline_check_box_outline_blank_24px"
        android:bottom="4dp"
        android:left="4dp"
        android:right="4dp"
        android:top="4dp"/>

    <!--Paddings to look similar to default Android checkboxes-->
    <item
        android:bottom="4dp"
        android:left="4dp"
        android:right="4dp"
        android:top="4dp">

    <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:enterFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime"
        android:exitFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime"> <!--Used for animation-->

        <item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@drawable/ic_baseline_check_box_24px"/>

        <item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="@drawable/ic_baseline_check_box_outline_blank_24px"/>

    </selector>
    </item>
</layer-list>

2. My checkbox drawables:

-> state checked: res/drawable/ic_baseline_check_box_24px

<vector android:autoMirrored="true" android:height="24dp"
    android:viewportHeight="24" android:viewportWidth="24"
    android:width="24dp" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:tintMode="multiply"
    android:tint="@color/cbx_color_checked_selector">
    <!--fillColor MUST be set to white-->
    <path android:fillColor="@android:color/white" android:pathData="M19,3L5,3c-1.11,0 -2,0.9 -2,2v14c0,1.1 0.89,2 2,2h14c1.11,0 2,-0.9 2,-2L21,5c0,-1.1 -0.89,-2 -2,-2zM10,17l-5,-5 1.41,-1.41L10,14.17l7.59,-7.59L19,8l-9,9z"/>
</vector>

-> state unchecked: res/drawable/ic_baseline_check_box_outline_blank_24px

<vector android:autoMirrored="true" android:height="24dp"
    android:viewportHeight="24" android:viewportWidth="24"
    android:width="24dp" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:tintMode="multiply"
    android:tint="@color/cbx_color_checked_selector">
    <!--fillColor MUST be set to white-->
    <path android:fillColor="@android:color/white" android:pathData="M19,5v14H5V5h14m0,-2H5c-1.1,0 -2,0.9 -2,2v14c0,1.1 0.9,2 2,2h14c1.1,0 2,-0.9 2,-2V5c0,-1.1 -0.9,-2 -2,-2z"/>
</vector>

3. In res/color/cbx_color_checked_selector:

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

        <item android:color="@color/colorAccent" android:state_checked="true" android:state_enabled="true" />
        <item android:color="@color/cbxBorderColorUnchecked" android:state_checked="false" android:state_enabled="true" />
        <item android:color="@color/colorAccentDisabled" android:state_checked="true" android:state_enabled="false" />
        <item android:color="@color/cbxBorderColorUncheckedDisabled" android:state_checked="false" android:state_enabled="false" />

    </selector>

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:

How to change the color of a CheckBox?

If your minSdkVersion is 21+ use android:buttonTint attribute to update the color of a checkbox:

<CheckBox
  ...
  android:buttonTint="@color/tint_color" />

In projects that use AppCompat library and support Android versions below 21 you can use a compat version of the buttonTint attribute:

<CheckBox
  ...
  app:buttonTint="@color/tint_color" />

In this case if you want to subclass a CheckBox don't forget to use AppCompatCheckBox instead.

PREVIOUS ANSWER:

You can change CheckBoxs drawable using android:button="@drawable/your_check_drawable" attribute.

(Android) On checkbox unchecked/checked, the cursor in edit text shifts to initial position when used to hide/show password

You just need to use this line :
binding.etPassword.setSelection(binding.etPassword.text.length) as the below code.

 import android.os.Bundle
import android.text.method.HideReturnsTransformationMethod
import android.text.method.PasswordTransformationMethod
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import androidx.databinding.DataBindingUtil
import com.example.testapp.databinding.ActivityMainBinding

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private lateinit var binding: ActivityMainBinding
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        binding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_main)

        initUI()
    }

    private fun initUI() {
        binding.imgTogglePassword.setOnCheckedChangeListener { _, isChecked ->
            // checkbox status is changed from uncheck to checked.
            if (!isChecked) {
                // hide password
                binding.etPassword.transformationMethod = PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance()
            } else {
                // show password
                binding.etPassword.transformationMethod = HideReturnsTransformationMethod.getInstance()
            }

           binding.etPassword.setSelection(binding.etPassword.text.length)
        }
    }

}
