How to achieve this ?

Was it helpful?

Solution

However, I might not be taking the best approach, but this is how I have created some Switch like UIs in few of my apps. Here is the code -

<RadioGroup
        android:checkedButton="@+id/offer"
        android:id="@+id/toggle"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="30dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/margin_medium"
        android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="50dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/margin_medium"
        android:background="@drawable/pink_out_line"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <RadioButton
            android:layout_marginTop="1dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="1dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="1dp"
            android:id="@+id/search"
            android:background="@drawable/toggle_widget_background"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:button="@null"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:text="Search"
            android:textColor="@color/white" />

        <RadioButton
            android:layout_marginRight="1dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="1dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="1dp"
            android:id="@+id/offer"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@drawable/toggle_widget_background"
            android:button="@null"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:text="Offers"
            android:textColor="@color/white" />
    </RadioGroup>

pink_out_line.xml

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">
    <corners android:radius="2dp" />
    <solid android:color="#80000000" />
    <stroke
        android:width="1dp"
        android:color="@color/pink" />
</shape>

toggle_widget_background.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@color/pink" android:state_checked="true" />
    <item android:drawable="@color/dark_pink" android:state_pressed="true" />
    <item android:drawable="@color/transparent" />
</selector>

And here is the output -enter image description here

OTHER TIPS

Its a simple xml design. It looks like iOS switch, check this below image

enter image description here

You need to create custom_thumb.xml and custom_track.xml

This is my switch,I need a very big switch so added layout_width/layout_height parameter 

 <androidx.appcompat.widget.SwitchCompat
        android:id="@+id/swOnOff"
        android:layout_width="@dimen/_200sdp"
        android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/_50sdp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="@dimen/_50sdp"
        android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/_30sdp"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        app:showText="true"
        android:textSize="@dimen/_20ssp"
        android:fontFamily="@font/opensans_bold"
        app:track="@drawable/custom_track"
        android:thumb="@drawable/custom_thumb"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/_120sdp"/>

Now create custom_thumb.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_checked="false">
        <shape android:shape="oval">
            <solid android:color="#ffffff"/>
            <size android:width="@dimen/_100sdp"
                android:height="@dimen/_100sdp"/>
            <stroke android:width="1dp"
                android:color="#8c8c8c"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item android:state_checked="true">
        <shape android:shape="oval">
            <solid android:color="#ffffff"/>
            <size android:width="@dimen/_100sdp"
                android:height="@dimen/_100sdp"/>
            <stroke android:width="1dp"
                android:color="#34c759"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
</selector>

Now create custom_track.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_checked="false">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <corners android:radius="@dimen/_100sdp" />
            <solid android:color="#ffffff" />
            <stroke android:color="#8c8c8c" android:width="1dp"/>
            <size android:height="20dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item android:state_checked="true">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <corners android:radius="@dimen/_100sdp" />
            <solid android:color="#34c759" />
            <stroke android:color="#8c8c8c" android:width="1dp"/>
            <size android:height="20dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</selector>

you can use the following code to change color and text :

<org.jraf.android.backport.switchwidget.Switch
                        android:id="@+id/th"
                        android:layout_width="match_parent"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        app:thumb="@drawable/apptheme_switch_inner_holo_light"
                        app:track="@drawable/apptheme_switch_track_holo_light"
                        app:textOn="@string/switch_yes"
                        app:textOff="@string/switch_no"
                        android:textColor="#000000"
                        />

Create a xml named colors.xml in res/values folder:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color name="red">#ff0000</color>
    <color name="green">#00ff00</color>
</resources>

In drawable folder, create a xml file my_btn_toggle.xml:

  <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="@color/red"  />
        <item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@color/green"  />
    </selector>

and in xml section defining your toggle button add:

android:background="@drawable/my_btn_toggle

to change the color of textOn and textOffuse 

android:switchTextAppearance="@style/Switch"

<Switch android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:thumb="@drawable/custom_switch_inner_holo_light"
                    android:track="@drawable/custom_switch_track_holo_light"
                    android:textOn="@string/yes"
                    android:textOff="@string/no"/>

drawable/custom_switch_inner_holo_light.xml

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/custom_switch_thumb_disabled_holo_light" />
    <item android:state_pressed="true"  android:drawable="@drawable/custom_switch_thumb_pressed_holo_light" />
    <item android:state_checked="true"  android:drawable="@drawable/custom_switch_thumb_activated_holo_light" />
    <item                               android:drawable="@drawable/custom_switch_thumb_holo_light" />
</selector>

drawable/custom_switch_track_holo_light.xml

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_focused="true"  android:drawable="@drawable/custom_switch_bg_focused_holo_light" />
    <item                               android:drawable="@drawable/custom_switch_bg_holo_light" />
</selector>

Next images are 9.paths drawables and they must be in different density (mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi). As example I give xxhdpi (you can resize they if u needed):

drawable/custom_switch_thumb_disabled_holo_light

custom_switch_thumb_disabled_holo_light

drawable/custom_switch_thumb_pressed_holo_light

custom_switch_thumb_pressed_holo_light

drawable/custom_switch_thumb_activated_holo_light

custom_switch_thumb_activated_holo_light

drawable/custom_switch_thumb_holo_light

custom_switch_thumb_holo_light

drawable/custom_switch_bg_focused_holo_light

custom_switch_bg_focused_holo_light

drawable/custom_switch_bg_holo_light

enter image description here

I achieved this

enter image description here

by doing:

1) custom selector:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_switch_off"
          android:state_checked="false"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_switch_on"
          android:state_checked="true"/>
</selector>

2) using v7 SwitchCompat

<android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@null"
    android:button="@drawable/checkbox_yura"
    android:thumb="@null"
    app:track="@null"/>

I use this approach to create a custom switch using a RadioGroup and RadioButton;

Use the code below to create a custom switch button like the one shown below.

enter image description here

<androidx.appcompat.widget.SwitchCompat
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"

You can use Android Material Components.

            android:id="@+id/btn_round"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Round trip" />

</com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButtonToggleGroup>

You can use the regular Switch widget and just call setTextOn() and setTextOff(), or use the android:textOn and android:textOff attributes.

With the Material Components Library you can use the MaterialButtonToggleGroup:

        <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButtonToggleGroup
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:checkedButton="@id/b1"
            app:selectionRequired="true"
            app:singleSelection="true">

            <Button
                style="?attr/materialButtonOutlinedStyle"
                android:id="@+id/b1"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="OPT1" />

            <Button
                style="?attr/materialButtonOutlinedStyle"
                android:id="@+id/b2"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="OPT2" />

        </com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButtonToggleGroup>

More info on this link: http://www.mokasocial.com/2011/07/sexily-styled-toggle-buttons-for-android/

<ToggleButton 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/toggle_me"/>

and the drawable will be something like:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_checked="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/toggle_me_on" /> <!-- checked -->
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/toggle_me_off" /> <!-- default/unchecked -->
</selector>

There are two ways to create custom ToggleButton

1) By defining custom background 2) By creating custom button

Check http://www.zoftino.com/android-toggle-button for custom styles

Toggle button with custom background

Define drawable as xml resource like below and set it as background of toggle button. In the below example, drawable toggle_color is a color selector, you need to define this also.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<inset xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:insetLeft="4dp"
    android:insetTop="4dp"
    android:insetRight="4dp"
    android:insetBottom="4dp">
    <layer-list android:paddingMode="stack">
        <item>
            <ripple android:color="?attr/android:colorControlHighlight">
                <item>
                    <shape android:shape="rectangle"
                        android:tint="?attr/android:colorButtonNormal">
                        <corners android:radius="8dp"/>
                        <solid android:color="@android:color/white" />
                        <padding android:left="8dp"
                            android:top="6dp"
                            android:right="8dp"
                            android:bottom="6dp" />
                    </shape>
                </item>
            </ripple>
        </item>
        <item android:gravity="left|fill_vertical">
            <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                <corners android:radius="4dp"/>
                <size android:width="8dp" />
                <solid android:color="@color/toggle_color" />
            </shape>
        </item>
        <item android:gravity="right|fill_vertical">
            <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                <corners android:radius="4dp"/>
                <size android:width="8dp" />
                <solid android:color="@color/toggle_color" />
            </shape>
        </item>
    </layer-list>
</inset>

Toggle button with custom button

Create your own images for two state of toggle button (make sure images exist for all sizes of screens) and place them in drawable folder, create selector and set it as button. 

   <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@drawable/toggle_on" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/toggle_off" />
</selector>
