I need to change the default border color of an Android check box. According to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26447709/how-to-set-checkbox-border-color one should use android:buttonTint for this purpose. However, that seems only to be applicable if one is defining the layout (the checkbox) in an Android xml layout file.
I would like to do this in a custom renderer like:
protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<CheckBox> e)
{
base.OnElementChanged(e);
if (this.Control == null)
{
var checkBox = new Android.Widget.CheckBox(this.Context);
/* and here change the border color of the checkbox */
I can set the background resource with something like:
checkBox.SetBackgroundResource(IsbApp.Droid.Resource.Drawable.CheckBox);
where CheckBox.xml looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<solid android:color="#ffffff" >
</solid>
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#ff0000" >
</stroke>
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>
but that changes the border color of the whole control, including the text which is associated with the checkbox.
I need to change the border color of only the part that is around the check mark itself.
