Switch button, disable change state onClick

Question

I want to use a switch button but I want to disable the change status on click, let this change only to the drag option. I try to set onclick listener to do nothing but when I click on the button always change the state.

Some one know to disable the change status onClick?

Solution 1

If you want to only change the state of the switch with swipe do the following:

 switchbutton = view.findViewById(R.id.switch2);
    switchbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            switchbutton.setChecked(!switchbutton.isChecked());
        }
    });

Solution 2

Using a switch widget you will have to create your customSwitch class and override the onTouchEvent method to return true when you detect a click:

public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    boolean response;
    switch (ev.getAction()){
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            x = ev.getX();
            response = super.onTouchEvent(ev);
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            response = Math.abs(x - ev.getX()) <= 10 || super.onTouchEvent(ev);
            break;
        default:
            response = super.onTouchEvent(ev);
            break;
    }
    return response;
}

The number 10 is a tolerance value as some devices report a movement event of 3 or 6 pixels or so instead of a click, so with this you control: 10 pixels or less is click (and ignore it) or more distance is considered movement and let this movement pass trought normal switch behaivor.

Declare x as a class level variable, default value is 0. MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN is allways called first so you will have x with the starting value on the X axis of the MotionEvent.

Im using switch button not a button. I want to disable the change state function on click and only let this function in the drag event

u can use that for switch button also

Yeah but the problem is the same, when you click the button that button change her state (on->off, off->on) and later enter in that function (onToggleClicked in that case). I want to prevent/eliminated the change state on click

x is not initialised in the method. where to initialise x and what to put as its default value?
