How to set the text for custom made toggle button android

Question

how to add the text "on" & "off" for the toggle button ? Do we need to add text also in image ?

Answer 1

You have a few options.

1. Make your graphic larger and include the text.
2. Use a LinearLayout and incorporate two TextViews around your ImageView.
3. Subclass your overall view and draw the text in onDraw().

Answer 2

If you are using XML to generate the toggle button you would use android:textOn and android:textOff in your ToggleButton<>
