Adding custom radio buttons in android

Question

I am trying to get radiobutton effect for regular buttons in android

I have a simple android radio button below

Answer 1

Setting android:background and android:button of the RadioButton like the accepted answer didn't work for me. The drawable image was being displayed as a background(eventhough android:button was being set to transparent ) to the radio button text as

android:background="@drawable/radiobuttonstyle"
    android:button="@android:color/transparent"

so gave radiobutton as the custom drawable radiobuttonstyle.xml

and radiobuttonstyle.xml is as follows

and after this radiobutton with custom button style worked.
