Meet: this is my switch!

Meet: this is my switch!

Here is its XML code:

<Switch android:id="@+id/check" android:checked="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/param" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/param"/>

I want to repaint it from delicate pink to green. It seems to me that it will be more beautiful. I rummaged through many resources on the Internet, but did not find anything useful.

Tell me how to do this?

By itself, the Switch obeys only the theme Material Design, provided by the developer. Therefore, Google has made an element called SwitchCombat , which is more willing to comply with the requirements. Here is how it is created in the activity XML file:

 ... <android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat android:id="@+id/switch_compat" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:layout_marginLeft="50dp" android:checked="false" android:text="SwitchCompat" android:textOff="OFF" android:textOn="ON" app:showText="true"/> ...

To set the style for SwitchCombat , you first need to create the styles.xml and put lines like this into it:

 <style name="MySwitch" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light"> <item name="trackTint">@android:color/цвет</item> </style>

And, secondly, in the SwitchCombat itself register a link to the style:

 <android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat ... android:theme="@style/MySwitch" />

You can also change the style for the active / inactive state, the color of the lane, etc. You can read more here .

PS At the request of the vehicle, I add a color change for the slider itself:

 <style name="MySwitch" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light"> ... <!-- Неактивное состояние --> <item name="colorSwitchThumbNormal">@android:color/цвет</item> <!-- Активное состояние --> <item name="colorControlActivated">@android:color/цвет</item> ... </style>
