Checkboxes

A CheckBox represents a button with two states, selected and unselected. Unlike radio buttons, changes in the states of one checkbox do not usually affect other checkboxes. A checkbox is a rounded square button with a check to denote its current state.

Usage

The MaterialCheckBox widget provides a complete implementation of Material Design's checkbox component. It is auto-inflated when using a non-Bridge Theme.MaterialComponents.* theme which sets the MaterialComponentsViewInflater. Example code of how to include the widget in your layout:

<CheckBox
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Material Styles

Using a Material Components theme with MaterialCheckBox will match the color of CheckBox views to your theme's palette. If you want to override this behavior, as you might with a custom drawable, set the useMaterialThemeColors parameter to false.

<CheckBox xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  app:useMaterialThemeColors="false"/>

Styles

Use checkboxStyle for style changes.
