How can I change the border thickness of an Android checkbox? <p>The default size of the android checkboxes were too small for my purposes, so I changed their overall size, however with their new size their borders now are horribly thick. </p> <p>In what way could I change the thickness? I quite like the default behavior of the checkboxes, so the only thing I would like to change is the thickness of the border. </p> <p>Code used to make the checkbox larger: </p> <pre><code>&lt;CheckBox android:id="@+id/item_switch" android:layout_width="160dp" android:layout_height="160dp" android:button="@null" android:background="?android:attr/listChoiceIndicatorMultiple"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>From this <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/a/36071778/7089738">SO answer</a>.</p>
