ToggleButton in Kotlin

ToggleButton in Kotlin

In Android, a ToggleButton is essentially a button that maintains a binary state: on/off or true/false. Each time the button is tapped, its state toggles. Using a ToggleButton in Kotlin is straightforward.

Here's a simple example illustrating how to use a ToggleButton:

Step 1: Add the ToggleButton to your XML layout

Firstly, let's create the UI layout in activity_main.xml:

<ToggleButton android:id="@+id/myToggleButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textOn="Toggle ON" android:textOff="Toggle OFF" android:layout_gravity="center"/>

Here, textOn and textOff set the text that will be displayed when the ToggleButton is in the on or off state, respectively.

Step 2: Use the ToggleButton in your Kotlin code

Next, we'll handle the toggle state in MainActivity.kt:

import android.os.Bundle import android.widget.Toast import android.widget.ToggleButton import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.activity_main) val toggleButton: ToggleButton = findViewById(R.id.myToggleButton) toggleButton.setOnCheckedChangeListener { _, isChecked -> if (isChecked) { // The toggle is ON Toast.makeText(this, "ToggleButton is ON", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show() } else { // The toggle is OFF Toast.makeText(this, "ToggleButton is OFF", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show() } } } }

In the code above, we use the setOnCheckedChangeListener listener to detect state changes of the ToggleButton. When the state changes, we show a Toast indicating the current state.

That's a basic example of how to use the ToggleButton in Kotlin for Android. You can further customize its appearance or behavior as needed.
