Use CheckTextView in Android

Before getting into the example, we should know what checktextview in android is. Check textview is expanded by textview and contains checkable interface. Using Checktextview we can find that, whether a user is clicked on textview or not.

This example demonstrate about How to use checktextview in android.

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:app = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
   xmlns:tools = "http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width = "match_parent"
   android:layout_height = "match_parent"
   tools:context = ".MainActivity">
   <CheckedTextView
      android:id = "@+id/text"
      android:layout_width = "wrap_content"
      android:layout_height = "wrap_content"
      android:text = "Checked Text View"
      android:textSize = "25sp"
      app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf = "parent"
      app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf = "parent"
      app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf = "parent"
      app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf = "parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

In the above code, we have taken CheckedTextView, when user clicked on textview, it will show check image.

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java

package com.example.andy.myapplication;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.CheckedTextView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   CheckedTextView text;
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      text = findViewById(R.id.text);
      text.setCheckMarkDrawable(null);
      text.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         @Override
         public void onClick(View v) {
            text.setCheckMarkDrawable(R.drawable.ic_check_circle_pink_400_24dp);
         }
      });
   }
}
