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

I am continuing the answer of ywwynm.

Google made the setSupportButtonTintList restricted so it is not possible to use it.

The workaround is to use the button as a TintableCompoundButton interface, in which the method is not restricted.

Works in API 19+ for AppCompatRadioButton. AppCompatCheckbox implements the same interface so it should work as well in theory but I haven't tested it.

Have fun :)

public static void setAppCompatRadioButtonColor(AppCompatRadioButton radioButton, int uncheckedColor, int checkedColor) {
    ColorStateList colorStateList = new ColorStateList(
            new int[][] {
                    new int[] { -android.R.attr.state_checked }, // unchecked
                    new int[] {  android.R.attr.state_checked }  // checked
            },
            new int[] {
                    uncheckedColor,
                    checkedColor
            }
    );
    ((TintableCompoundButton) radioButton).setSupportButtonTintList(colorStateList);
}
