Answer 1

if you are intersted to change the background color of the checkbox (button) use

mcheckbox.setButtonDrawable(R.drawable.someotherbackground);

where someotherbackground is an image in the drawable folder to which background you want your checkbox to be changed

try as below

 mcheckbox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {

        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView,
                boolean isChecked) {

            if (isChecked) {

                System.out.println("checked" + isChecked);
                mcheckbox.setButtonDrawable(R.drawable.imageWhenActive);
                    System.out.println("app constant is set as "+isChecked);
            }
            else
            {
                mcheckbox.setButtonDrawable(R.drawable.imageWheninactive);
                System.out.println("app constant is set as "+isChecked);
            }

        }
    });
