    The RadioButton class has a buttonDrawable member, derived from CompoundButton.

    There are multiple ways you can change this drawable.

    From java:

    myRadioButton.setButtonDrawable(resourceId or Drawable);

    From xml:

    <RadioButton
    android:button="@drawable/yourdrawable" 
    ...
/>

    If you just want the checked/unchecked state look differently, then

    • Add a new selector xml by rightclicking your res folder -> New ->
      Android xml -> select Drawable in the upper dropdown -> choose
      selector (in eclipse)
    • To setup this selector, please take a look at this link
    • From now on you can set your freshly created selector to any of your
      checkboxes/radiobuttons by using its id.
