Gradle dependency
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0-alpha01'
The last item of a selector is usually without any explicit state. And that is because if can be in a lot more states than just checked or unckecked.
<selector xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
tools:ignore="MissingDefaultResource">
<item
android:color="@color/colorAccent"
android:state_checked="true"/>
<item android:color="#000000"/>
</selector>
The latest items acts as a default, fallback state.
This should be black always unless explicitely checked.
Try this, it works for me
