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>

it's android:button="@drawable/selector_checkbox"to make it work

This may be achieved by using AppCompatCheckBox. You can use app:buttonCompat="@drawable/selector_drawable" to change the selector.

It's working with PNGs, but I didn't find a way for it to work with Vector Drawables.
