Adding custom radio buttons in android

Question

I am trying to get radiobutton effect for regular buttons in android

I have a simple android radio button below

Answer 1

Add a background drawable that references to an image, or a selector (like below), and make the button transparent:

If you would like your radio buttons to have a different resource when checked, create a selector background drawable:

res/drawable/yourbuttonbackground.xml

In the selector above, we reference two drawables, a and b, here's how we create them:

res/drawable/a.xml - Selected State

res/drawable/b.xml - Regular State
