How to customize toggle button in android?

Question

I've been trying to customize a toggle button to look like this, but it seems like i'm not getting anywhere.

Can anyone give me an idea or any kind of tutorial on designing?

Answer 1

Is that what you're looking for :

First create a ToggleButton XML :

<ToggleButton
    android:id="@+id/follow"
    android:layout_width="120dp"
    android:layout_height="35dp"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:background="#61849f"
    android:checked="false"
    android:drawableStart="@drawable/ic_baseline_star_24"
    android:elevation="0dp"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:padding="8dp"
    android:textColor="#fff"
    android:textOff=" FOLLOW "
    android:textOn=" FOLLOWING " />

Java :

toggleButton = findViewById(R.id.follow);
        toggleButton.setOnCheckedChangeListener((buttonView, isChecked) -> {
            if (isChecked) setUnfollow();
            else setFollow();
        });

The setFollow & setUnfollow methods :

private void setUnfollow() {
    toggleButton.setChecked(true);
    toggleButton.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
    toggleButton.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
    toggleButton.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, 0, 0);
    toggleButton.setBackgroundDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.border));

}

private void setFollow() {
    toggleButton.setChecked(false);
    toggleButton.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
    toggleButton.setBackgroundDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.fill));
    toggleButton.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(R.drawable.ic_baseline_star_24, 0, 0, 0);
}

Finally The fill.XML and bordre.XML (create these file in the drawable folder)

Border.XML :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <stroke
        android:width="1dp"
        android:color="#61849f" />
</shape>

Fill.XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <solid
        android:color="#61849f" />
</shape>
