How to change CheckBox color in Android

Question

I'm new to Android development and I'm following this tutorial for showing a Checkbox in Android. Checkbox showing properly.

But I want to change the checkbox color. How can I do this?

Answer 1

You can do this without changing the drawable using buttonTint (as of API 23):

<CheckBox
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:buttonTint="@color/CHECKMARK_COLOR_HERE" />

or use AppCombatCheckBox for older versions of android/compatibility.

<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatCheckBox 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    app:buttonTint="@color/CHECKMARK_COLOR_HERE" />
