how to change the color of CheckBox square? [duplicate]

Question

I want to change the colour of Square box of checkbox, not the colour of text, only that square image in which we tick.

Answer 1

You can color directly in the xml. Use buttonTint for the checkbox

 <CheckBox
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="CheckBox"
    android:buttonTint="@color/lightColoral"
    />

The below code works on API < 21

app:buttonTint="@color/lightColoral"

Answer 2

You can use AppCompat Checkbox and use app:buttonTint="@color/yellow".

            <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatCheckBox
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="CheckBox"
                app:buttonTint="@color/yellow"
                />
