Android custom CheckedTextView

Question

I want to custom the check mark in my several checkedtextview. I wanted to use a "simple" solution, so i did that :

    if(serviceChecked.isChecked()){
    serviceChecked.setChecked(false);
    serviceChecked.setCheckMarkDrawable(null);
} else {
    serviceChecked.setChecked(true);
    serviceChecked.setCheckMarkDrawable(R.drawable.ic_action_done);
}

I've two problems with this solution :

The first is, it's running only the first time, when I check one of my checktextview, uncheck, and check again, my drawable is not visible.

The second problem is, we can see again the "default" checkmarck (the blue)....

How can I resolve it ?

Thx,

Extending the CheckTextBox, you shouldn't need to change the setCheckMarkDrawable. Just set it once, and the setChecked should appropriately set the checked/non-checked state. Your drawable should be defined in XML, something like this:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">  

    <item android:state_checked="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_checked" /> <!-- checked -->

    <item android:state_pressed="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_checked" /> <!-- pressed -->

    <item android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_default" /> <!-- default -->

</selector>

Ok ok, so i can't keep the default "case" and just add my drawable icon to show it's checked ? – deveLost Mar 26 '14 at 16:22
You didn't understand what i said, but it's ok :D I'm going to try your solution, thx :) – deveLost Mar 26 '14 at 16:24
You could just add the drawable, but at that point you'd be doing a really custom CheckTextBox. If you do that, then you want to manage the visibility or swap the icon, not remove it entirely. – PearsonArtPhoto Mar 26 '14 at 16:26
mhhh, i'm not sure to have understand :/ I tried your solution, but the problem is the "default check" is still visible. WHy ? – deveLost Mar 26 '14 at 16:27
The `CheckTextBox` doesn't turn the check mark invisible, but switches the drawables instead. Try a non-checked version of your checkbox. – PearsonArtPhoto Mar 26 '14 at 16:28
I found the problem, i'm stupid (of course) :D it's running, so thx :) but i'm curious to know how to do it with my first "answer" – deveLost Mar 26 '14 at 16:30
You could always just include what your answer is, for future people who might come in. – PearsonArtPhoto Mar 26 '14 at 16:35
I did what you said :) – deveLost Mar 27 '14 at 08:37
