Change the On/Off text of a toggle button Android

I just changed the background of a ToggleButton, and now I'm looking to change the ON/OFF text that comes up with it. What is the easiest way to do this?

You can use the following to set the text from the code:

toggleButton.setText(textOff);
// Sets the text for when the button is first created.

toggleButton.setTextOff(textOff);
// Sets the text for when the button is not in the checked state.

toggleButton.setTextOn(textOn);
// Sets the text for when the button is in the checked state.

To set the text using xml, use the following:

android:textOff="The text for the button when it is not checked."
android:textOn="The text for the button when it is checked." 

This information is from here

In the example you link to, they are changing it to Day/Night by using android:textOn and android:textOff

Set the XML as:

<ToggleButton
    android:id="@+id/flashlightButton"
    style="@style/Button"
    android:layout_above="@+id/buttonStrobeLight"
	android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
    android:onClick="onToggleClicked"
    android:text="ToggleButton"
    android:textOn="Light ON"
    android:textOff="Light OFF" />

In some cases, you need to force refresh the view in order to make it work.

toggleButton.setTextOff(textOff);
toggleButton.requestLayout();

toggleButton.setTextOn(textOn);
toggleButton.requestLayout();

It appears you no longer need toggleButton.setTextOff(textOff); and toggleButton.setTextOn(textOn);. The text for each toggled state will change by merely including the relevant xml characteristics. This will override the default ON/OFF text.

<ToggleButton
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/toggleText"
    android:textOff="ADD TEXT"
    android:textOn="CLOSE TEXT"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
    android:visibility="gone"/>

You can do this by 2 options:

> Option 1: By setting its xml attributes

 `android:textOff="TEXT OFF"
  android:textOn="TEXT ON"`

> Option 2: Programmatically

> Set the attribute onClick: methodNameHere (mine is toggleState) > Then write this code:

public void toggleState(View view) {
   boolean toggle = ((ToogleButton)view).isChecked();
   if (toggle){
       ((ToogleButton)view).setTextOn("TEXT ON");
   } else {
      ((ToogleButton)view).setTextOff("TEXT OFF");
   }
}

PS: it works for me, hope it works for you too
