Answer 1

For your requirement I prefer you to use CheckedTextView instead of CheckBox.Here is the code what you wanted.

create 3 xml ( chk_indicator.xml , chk_bg.xml , chk_pressed_bg.xml )in drawable folder

chk_indicator.xml

chk_bg.xml

chk_pressed_bg.xml

output:

set onClick event on CheckedTextView

 ((CheckedTextView)findViewById(R.id.ctv)).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {

            boolean isChecked = ((CheckedTextView)findViewById(R.id.ctv)).isChecked();

            if(isChecked)
              ((CheckedTextView)findViewById(R.id.ctv)).setChecked(false);
            else
              ((CheckedTextView)findViewById(R.id.ctv)).setChecked(true);




        }
    });
