Custom switch widget in Android 4
android, android-4.0-ice-cream-sandwich
Solution
The solucion for the extremely small slider with no text was solved with a combination of:
android:thumbTextPadding="25dp"
android:textOn=""
android:textOff=""
Then, the problem of the small padding in the same slider was a 9-patch image problem. I had to extend bottom and right black lines one more pixel simetrically.
Hope this helps someone with the same problem.
Problem
I am getting crazy with switch buttons in Android 4. First of all, I have set a selector as background with two different PNG files selected from drawable folder: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:drawable="@drawable/form_switch_no" android:state_checked="false"/> <item android:drawable="@drawable/form_switch_ok" android:state_checked="true"/> <item android:drawable="@drawable/form_switch_no"/> </selector> ``` but I don't know why they are x-scaled. I want to manage this size, but I have tried to change layout_width/height/weight... without succes. I have also a custom PNG file to be used as the thumb of the switch. I also need to manage the size of this thumb, because if I set textOn and textOff propieties as "", thumb gets a very small size. Moreover, I would like to change thumb padding in respect of the background, because It does not appears centered. Here is my Switch XML definition: ``` <Switch android:id="@+id/switchUsers" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/user" android:textOn="" android:textOff="" android:thumb="@drawable/form_switch_slider" android:track="@drawable/switch_user_selector" /> ``` I have tried to change image sizes and making them nine-patch ones, but I can't reach my target. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!
