Android: Change the color of RadioButtons and checkboxes programmatically

Question

I created RadioButton and CheckBox in LinearLayout programatically. But, now I want to change radio button\'s color and check boxes\'s

Answer 1

Use AppCompatCheckBox and AppCompatRadioButton instead of CheckBox and RadioButton. Your xml will have :

Now for the java code : Create ColorStateList

        ColorStateList colorStateList = new ColorStateList(
                new int[][]{
                        new int[]{android.R.attr.state_enabled} //enabled
                },
                new int[] {getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimary) }
        );

To change the color programatically for AppCompatRadioButton or AppCompatCheckBox call setSupportButtonTintList.

AppCompatRadioButton radioButton = (AppCompatRadioButton) findViewById(R.id.rb);
radioButton.setSupportButtonTintList(colorStateList);

AppCompatCheckBox cbSelected = (AppCompatCheckBox) findViewById(R.id.cbSelected);
cbSelected.setSupportButtonTintList(colorStateList);
