Switch button - disable swipe function

Question

I have a switch button (actually is a custom one) and I want to disable the swipe functionality for some reason; I want the user to be able to click it only. Is

Answer 1

A better way is to prevent the Switch class from receiving MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE events.

This can be done with:

switchButton.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
  @Override
  public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    return event.getActionMasked() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE;
  }
});

Then you are free to set a click listener on the switch as appropriate.

Check out the implementation of Switch to see how dragging works. It's pretty cool!

Answer 2

To disable a Switch use following method

switchBtn.setEnabled(false);

To make switch not clickable use

switchBtn.setClickable(false);

where switchBtn is Switch object

Answer 3

My solution is:

switchView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { 
@Override           
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event) {
                if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
                            //Your code
                }
                return true;            
    }       
});

Or ButterKnife:

@OnTouch(R.id.switchView)
public boolean switchStatus(Switch switchView, MotionEvent event) {
    if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
        // your code
    }
    return true;
}

Answer 4

You can custom a view that extends Switch then override its onTouchEvent()

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    boolean handle = ev.getActionMasked() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE;
    return handle ? handle : super.onTouchEvent(ev);
}

It should work.

Answer 5

You can setClickable(false) to your Switch, then listen for the onClick() event within the Switch's parent and toggle it programmatically. The switch will still appear to be enabled but the swipe animation won't happen.

...

[In onCreate()]

Switch switchInternet = (Switch) findViewById(R.id.switch_internet);
switchInternet.setClickable(false);

...

[click listener]

public void ParentLayoutClicked(View v){
    Switch switchInternet = (Switch) findViewById(R.id.switch_internet);

    if (switchInternet.isChecked()) {
        switchInternet.setChecked(false);           
    } else {
        switchInternet.setChecked(true);    
    }       
}

...

[layout.xml]

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:onClick="ParentLayoutClicked"
        android:focusable="false"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <Switch
            android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
            android:layout_marginBottom="5dip"
            android:id="@+id/switch_internet"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textOff="NOT CONNECTED"
            android:textOn="CONNECTED"
            android:focusable="false"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"                                                
            android:text="@string/s_internet_status" />

    </RelativeLayout>

//This code works fine

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener { Switch my_switch;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    my_switch = (Switch) findViewById(R.id.my_switch);
    my_switch.setOnCheckedChangeListener(this);
}
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    switch (v.getId()){
        case R.id.my_switch:
            if(my_switch.isChecked())
                my_switch.setChecked(true);                
            else           
                my_switch.setChecked(true);
            break;
    }
}

}
