It is simpler just setting the buttonTint color (only works on API level 21 or above):
<RadioButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/radio"
android:checked="true"
android:buttonTint="@color/your_color"/>
In your values/colors.xml file, put your color, in this case a reddish one:
<color name="your_color">#e75748</color>
Result:
If you want to do it by code (also API 21 and above):
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21)
{
ColorStateList colorStateList = new ColorStateList(
new int[][]
{
new int[]{-android.R.attr.state_enabled}, // Disabled
new int[]{android.R.attr.state_enabled} // Enabled
},
new int[]
{
Color.BLACK, // disabled
Color.BLUE // enabled
}
);
radio.setButtonTintList(colorStateList); // set the color tint list
radio.invalidate(); // Could not be necessary
}
