Question

This is my XML for my check box:

<CheckBox
                android:id="@+id/atm_checkbox"
                android:layout_width="20dp"
                android:layout_height="20dp"
                android:background="@color/input_color" />

And it looks like this:

This is what i found on internet:

<CheckBox
        android:id="@+id/chkAndroid"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/chk_android"
        android:checked="true" />

which looks like this

how to change my checkbox to look like the one i found on internet.
As my rep is <10 i cant upload image of my checkbox, or can anyone help me how to style checkbox to make it look better

I think both the xmls have similar code, but why are they looking so different?

Answer 1

If you want custom the look of checkbox see this tutorial and find everything.

By the way, the checkbox from your link is for Android3.0 and above.
