Custom checkbox image android

Create a drawable checkbox selector:

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

Make sure your checkbox is like this android:button="@drawable/checkbox_selector"

<CheckBox    android:layout_width="match_parent"    android:layout_height="wrap_content"    android:button="@drawable/checkbox_selector"    android:text="CheckBox"    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"    android:textColor="@color/Black" />

Checkboxes being children of Button you can just give your checkbox a background image with several states as described here, under "Button style":

Copy the btn_check.xml from android-sdk/platforms/android-#/data/res/drawable to your project's drawable folder and change the 'on' and 'off' image states to your custom images.

Then your xml will just need android:button="@drawable/btn_check"

<CheckBox    android:button="@drawable/btn_check"    android:layout_width="wrap_content"    android:layout_height="wrap_content"    android:checked="true" />

If you want to use different default android icons, you can use android:button="@android:drawable/..."
