android.widget.Switch - on/off event listener?

Question

I would like to implement a switch button, android.widget.Switch (available from API v.14).

Answer 1

The layout for Switch widget is something like this.

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <Switch
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
        android:gravity="right"
        android:text="All"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textColor="@color/black"
        android:textSize="20dp"
        android:id="@+id/list_toggle" />
</LinearLayout>

In the Activity class, you can code by two ways. Depends on the use you can code.

First Way

public class ActivityClass extends Activity implements CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener {
Switch list_toggle;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.return_vehicle);

    list_toggle=(Switch)findViewById(R.id.list_toggle);
    list_toggle.setOnCheckedChangeListener(this);
    }
}

public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView,boolean isChecked) {
    if(isChecked) {
        list_toggle.setText("Only Today's");  //To change the text near to switch
        Log.d("You are :", "Checked");
    }
    else {
        list_toggle.setText("All List");   //To change the text near to switch
        Log.d("You are :", " Not Checked");
    }
}

Second way

public class ActivityClass extends Activity {
Switch list_toggle;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.return_vehicle);

    list_toggle=(Switch)findViewById(R.id.list_toggle);
    list_toggle.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
       @Override
       public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
          if(isChecked) {
             list_toggle.setText("Only Today's");  //To change the text near to switch
             Log.d("You are :", "Checked");
          }
          else {
             list_toggle.setText("All List");  //To change the text near to switch
             Log.d("You are :", " Not Checked");
          }
       }       
     });
   }
}

Answer 2

there are two ways,

1. using xml onclick view Add Switch in XML as below:

   <Switch
   android:id="@+id/switch1"
   android:onClick="toggle"/>
   

In YourActivity Class (For E.g MainActivity.java)

    Switch toggle; //outside oncreate
    toggle =(Switch) findViewById(R.id.switch1); // inside oncreate

    public void toggle(View view) //outside oncreate
    {
        if( toggle.isChecked() ){
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
                start.setBackgroundColor(getColor(R.color.gold));
                stop.setBackgroundColor(getColor(R.color.white));
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
                stop.setBackgroundColor(getColor(R.color.gold));
                start.setBackgroundColor(getColor(R.color.white));
            }
        }
    }

2. using on click listener

Add Switch in XML as below:

In YourActivity Class (For E.g MainActivity.java)

    Switch toggle; // outside oncreate
    toggle =(Switch) findViewById(R.id.switch1);  // inside oncreate


    toggle.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {   // inside oncreate
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {

            if( toggle.isChecked() ){
                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
                    start.setBackgroundColor(getColor(R.color.gold));
                }
            }
            else
            {
                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
                    stop.setBackgroundColor(getColor(R.color.gold));
                }
            }

        }

    });

Answer 3

In the Activity class

 switch.setOnCheckedChangeListener((CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener) (buttonView, isChecked) -> {
                if (isChecked){
                    // your code
                } else {
                    // your code
                }
            });

layout for Switch widget

   <androidx.appcompat.widget.SwitchCompat
                android:id="@+id/switch"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="center"
                android:checked="true"
                android:layoutDirection="ltr"/>

Answer 4

In Kotlin:

        switch_button.setOnCheckedChangeListener { buttonView, isChecked ->
        if (isChecked) {
            // The switch enabled
            text_view.text = "Switch on"

        } else {
            // The switch disabled
            text_view.text = "Switch off"

        }
    }

Answer 5

Use the following snippet to add a Switch to your layout via XML:

<Switch
     android:id="@+id/on_off_switch"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:textOff="OFF"
     android:textOn="ON"/>

Then in your Activity's onCreate method, get a reference to your Switch and set its OnCheckedChangeListener:

Switch onOffSwitch = (Switch)  findViewById(R.id.on_off_switch); 
onOffSwitch.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {

@Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
    Log.v("Switch State=", ""+isChecked);
}       

});

September 2020 - Programmatically Answer

You can do it with programmatically for Switch Widget and Material Design:

Switch yourSwitchButton = findViewById(R.id.switch_id);

yourSwitchButton.setChecked(true); // true is open, false is close.

yourSwitchButton.setOnCheckedChangeListener((compoundButton, b) -> {
        if (b){
          //open job.
        }  
        else  {
          //close job.
        }
    });
