It’s weird all of us have this problem but not official Google answer to this simple problem. The MOST simple it’s to check: buttonView.isPressed() If true, means the user clicked the view. No global variables are needed.
Using scale property to change size worked for me. Add these lines to your <switch/> tag in xml file. android:scaleX=”2″ android:scaleY=”2″ You can change scale value as per your need. Here value 2 makes it double in size, similarly value 0.5 makes it half in size. Example: <Switch android:id=”@+id/switchOnOff” android:layout_width=”wrap_content” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:scaleX=”2″ android:scaleY=”2″/>
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” /> … Read more
You can define the drawables that are used for the background, and the switcher part like this: <Switch android:layout_width=”wrap_content” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:thumb=”@drawable/switch_thumb” android:track=”@drawable/switch_bg” /> Now you need to create a selector that defines the different states for the switcher drawable. Here the copies from the Android sources: <selector xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android”> <item android:state_enabled=”false” android:drawable=”@drawable/switch_thumb_disabled_holo_light” /> <item android:state_pressed=”true” android:drawable=”@drawable/switch_thumb_pressed_holo_light” … Read more
