Try this Toggle Buttons

    }
}

Answer 2

Just remove the line toggle.toggle(); from your click listener toggle() method will always reset your toggle button value.

And as you are trying to take the value of EditText in string variable which always remains same as you are getting value in onCreate() so better directly use the EditText to get the value of it in your onClick listener.

Just change your code as below its working fine now.

  btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                       //toggle.toggle();
            if ( ed.getText().toString().equalsIgnoreCase("1")) {

                toggle.setTextOff("TOGGLE ON");
                toggle.setChecked(true);
            } else if ( ed.getText().toString().equalsIgnoreCase("0")) {

                toggle.setTextOn("TOGGLE OFF");
                toggle.setChecked(false);

            }
        }
    });

Answer 3

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    editString = ed.getText().toString();
    if(editString.equals("1")){

        toggle.setTextOff("TOGGLE ON");
        toggle.setChecked(true);

    }
    else if(editString.equals("0")){

        toggle.setTextOn("TOGGLE OFF");
        toggle.setChecked(false);

    }
}

You should follow the Google guide;

ToggleButton toggle = (ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.togglebutton);
toggle.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
    public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
        if (isChecked) {
            // The toggle is enabled
        } else {
            // The toggle is disabled
        }
    }
});

Answer 5

I think what are attempting is semantically same as a radio button when 1 is when one of the options is selected and 0 is the other option.

I suggest using the radio button provided by Android by default.

Here is how to use it- http://www.mkyong.com/android/android-radio-buttons-example/

and the android documentation is here-

Thanks.

Answer 6

<ToggleButton 
    android:id="@+id/togglebutton"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textOn="Vibrate on"
    android:textOff="Vibrate off"
    android:onClick="onToggleClicked"/>

Within the Activity that hosts this layout, the following method handles the click event:

public void onToggleClicked(View view) {
    // Is the toggle on?
    boolean on = ((ToggleButton) view).isChecked();

    if (on) {
        // Enable vibrate
    } else {
        // Disable vibrate
    }
}
