Change icons of checked and unchecked for Checkbox for Android

Kind of a mix:

Set it in your layout file :-

 <CheckBox android:layout_width="wrap_content"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
           android:text="new checkbox"
           android:background="@drawable/checkbox_background" 
           android:button="@drawable/checkbox" />

where the @drawable/checkbox will look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
 <item android:state_checked="true" android:state_focused="true"
  android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_on_background_focus_yellow" />
 <item android:state_checked="false" android:state_focused="true"
  android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_off_background_focus_yellow" />
 <item android:state_checked="false"
  android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_off_background" />
 <item android:state_checked="true"
  android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_on_background" />
</selector>
