How to change the color of the entire Сheckbox from what is default to Сheckbox ? That is, the Сheckbox and the text next to it should be the same color.

I know how to change the color of the text, but I did not find it so that I could find a box with a flag to change its color. Tried through styles, but also without result. It is necessary that the color of the unchecked Сheckbox one, and when clicked, it changes to another.

    You can create your own drawable, and then add in the checkbox

    android:drawableStart="@drawable/your_check_drawable" android:button="@android:color/transparent"

    Or create an owl selector and with 2 options drawable for different states and in drawableStart (for example) then add selector.

    • and where I prescribe color in drawable as far as I can see from examples, the color is not indicated anywhere, even if we then connect it to style.xml - Andrew Goroshko

    use AppCompatCheckBox and AppCompatRadioButton instead of CheckBox and RadioButton.

     <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatCheckBox android:id="@+id/cbSelected" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:backgroundTint="@color/colorAccent" //This to set your default button color android:checked="true"/> <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatRadioButton android:id="@+id/rb" app:buttonTint="@color/colorAccent" //This to set your default button color android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

    Java code: Create a ColorStateList

      ColorStateList colorStateList = new ColorStateList( new int[][]{ new int[]{android.R.attr.state_enabled} //enabled }, new int[] {getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimary) } );

    Programmatically change the color for AppCompatRadioButton or AppCompatCheckBox by calling setSupportButtonTintList.

     AppCompatRadioButton radioButton = (AppCompatRadioButton) findViewById(R.id.rb); radioButton.setSupportButtonTintList(colorStateList); AppCompatCheckBox cbSelected = (AppCompatCheckBox) findViewById(R.id.cbSelected); cbSelected.setSupportButtonTintList(colorStateList);

      redefine colors for checkbox state:

       Checkbox checkbox = findViewById(R.id.checkbox); int states[][] = {{android.R.attr.state_checked}, {}}; int colors[] = {R.color.color_checked, R.color.color_unchecked}; CompoundButtonCompat.setButtonTintList(checkbox, new ColorStateList(states, colors));
