Custom styled checkbox (Material Chips) for android studio

Question

I would like to create chips in android like shown below:

Is it possible to do so with android studio? If so, how can I do it with XML?

Tried creating this CheckBox but want to know how to add theme like the above screenshot:

<CheckBox android:id="@+id/checkBox" android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
  android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="40dp" 
  android:text="Gold" app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" 
  app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" 
  app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.113" 
  app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" 
  app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/textView" 
  app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.008" />

The view components you refer to are called chips . By using the material design library, you can use chips like this:

<com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/hello_world"/>

In order to use the material design library, you need to:

1. Add the dependency to your app module's gradle file

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'

2. Use AppCompatActivity
3. Use one of the material desing themes as your parent theme in the app. Eg Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight
