rather simple situation. I have a checkbox, I set the button attribute to my selector with two drawables for checked and unchecked. It looks proper in the editor but when I actually launch the app it gets filled in with solid color.
In the editor
And in the actual app
This is the XML
<CheckBox
android:id="@+id/selected_checkBox"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:button="@drawable/checkbox_states"
android:clickable="false"
android:checked="false"
android:visibility="invisible" />
This is the checkbox_states drawable
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@drawable/ic_checkbox_checked"/>
<item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="@drawable/ic_checkbox_outline" />
</selector>
The checked
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="48dp"
android:height="48dp"
android:viewportWidth="24"
android:viewportHeight="24"
>
<path
android:pathData="M2,1L22,1A1,1 0,0 1,23 2L23,22A1,1 0,0 1,22 23L2,23A1,1 0,0 1,1 22L1,2A1,1 0,0 1,2 1z"
android:strokeWidth="2"
android:fillColor="#EAC752"
android:strokeColor="#EAC752"/>
<path
android:pathData="M6,13L10,17L20,7"
android:strokeLineJoin="round"
android:strokeWidth="2"
android:fillColor="#00000000"
android:strokeColor="#0E4DA4"
android:strokeLineCap="round"/>
</vector>
And the unchecked is just a square. I don't have a style or anything of sorts that could cause this issue. But it seems that this is color secondary. So something with AppTheme could be causing this. I am just not sure what
The CheckBox component inherits from a Button View so you can use the android:background attribute to change the checkbox state with a drawable state selector instead of android:button. Example is like below:
<CheckBox
android:id="@+id/selected_checkBox"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/checkbox_states"
android:button="@null"
app:buttonCompat="@null"
android:checked="true" />
