Solution 1 - Android

However, I might not be taking the best approach, but this is how I have created some Switch like UIs in few of my apps. Here is the code -

<RadioGroup
        android:checkedButton="@+id/offer"
        android:id="@+id/toggle"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="30dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/margin_medium"
        android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="50dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/margin_medium"
        android:background="@drawable/pink_out_line"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <RadioButton
            android:layout_marginTop="1dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="1dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="1dp"
            android:id="@+id/search"
            android:background="@drawable/toggle_widget_background"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:button="@null"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:text="Search"
            android:textColor="@color/white" />

        <RadioButton
            android:layout_marginRight="1dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="1dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="1dp"
            android:id="@+id/offer"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@drawable/toggle_widget_background"
            android:button="@null"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:text="Offers"
            android:textColor="@color/white" />
    </RadioGroup>

pink_out_line.xml

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">
    <corners android:radius="2dp" />
    <solid android:color="#80000000" />
    <stroke
        android:width="1dp"
        android:color="@color/pink" />
</shape>

toggle_widget_background.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@color/pink" android:state_checked="true" />
    <item android:drawable="@color/dark_pink" android:state_pressed="true" />
    <item android:drawable="@color/transparent" />
</selector>

And here is the output -enter image description here

Solution 2 - Android

Its a simple xml design. It looks like iOS switch, check this below image

enter image description here

You need to create custom_thumb.xml and custom_track.xml

This is my switch,I need a very big switch so added layout_width/layout_height parameter

 <androidx.appcompat.widget.SwitchCompat
        android:id="@+id/swOnOff"
        android:layout_width="@dimen/_200sdp"
        android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/_50sdp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="@dimen/_50sdp"
        android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/_30sdp"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        app:showText="true"
        android:textSize="@dimen/_20ssp"
        android:fontFamily="@font/opensans_bold"
        app:track="@drawable/custom_track"
        android:thumb="@drawable/custom_thumb"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/_120sdp"/>

Now create custom_thumb.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_checked="false">
        <shape android:shape="oval">
            <solid android:color="#ffffff"/>
            <size android:width="@dimen/_100sdp"
                android:height="@dimen/_100sdp"/>
            <stroke android:width="1dp"
                android:color="#8c8c8c"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item android:state_checked="true">
        <shape android:shape="oval">
            <solid android:color="#ffffff"/>
            <size android:width="@dimen/_100sdp"
                android:height="@dimen/_100sdp"/>
            <stroke android:width="1dp"
                android:color="#34c759"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
</selector>

Now create custom_track.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_checked="false">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <corners android:radius="@dimen/_100sdp" />
            <solid android:color="#ffffff" />
            <stroke android:color="#8c8c8c" android:width="1dp"/>
            <size android:height="20dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item android:state_checked="true">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <corners android:radius="@dimen/_100sdp" />
            <solid android:color="#34c759" />
            <stroke android:color="#8c8c8c" android:width="1dp"/>
            <size android:height="20dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</selector>

Solution 3 - Android

you can use the following code to change color and text :

<org.jraf.android.backport.switchwidget.Switch
                        android:id="@+id/th"
                        android:layout_width="match_parent"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        app:thumb="@drawable/apptheme_switch_inner_holo_light"
                        app:track="@drawable/apptheme_switch_track_holo_light"
                        app:textOn="@string/switch_yes"
                        app:textOff="@string/switch_no"
                        android:textColor="#000000"
                        />

Create a xml named colors.xml in res/values folder:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color name="red">#ff0000</color>
    <color name="green">#00ff00</color>
</resources>

In drawable folder, create a xml file my_btn_toggle.xml:

  <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="@color/red"  />
        <item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@color/green"  />
    </selector>

and in xml section defining your toggle button add:

android:background="@drawable/my_btn_toggle

to change the color of textOn and textOffuse

android:switchTextAppearance="@style/Switch"

Solution 4 - Android

<Switch android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:thumb="@drawable/custom_switch_inner_holo_light"
                    android:track="@drawable/custom_switch_track_holo_light"
                    android:textOn="@string/yes"
                    android:textOff="@string/no"/>

drawable/custom_switch_inner_holo_light.xml

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/custom_switch_thumb_disabled_holo_light" />
    <item android:state_pressed="true"  android:drawable="@drawable/custom_switch_thumb_pressed_holo_light" />
    <item android:state_checked="true"  android:drawable="@drawable/custom_switch_thumb_activated_holo_light" />
    <item                               android:drawable="@drawable/custom_switch_thumb_holo_light" />
</selector>

drawable/custom_switch_track_holo_light.xml

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_focused="true"  android:drawable="@drawable/custom_switch_bg_focused_holo_light" />
    <item                               android:drawable="@drawable/custom_switch_bg_holo_light" />
</selector>

Next images are 9.paths drawables and they must be in different density (mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi). As example I give xxhdpi (you can resize they if u needed):

drawable/custom_switch_thumb_disabled_holo_light

custom_switch_thumb_disabled_holo_light

drawable/custom_switch_thumb_pressed_holo_light

custom_switch_thumb_pressed_holo_light

drawable/custom_switch_thumb_activated_holo_light

custom_switch_thumb_activated_holo_light

drawable/custom_switch_thumb_holo_light

custom_switch_thumb_holo_light

drawable/custom_switch_bg_focused_holo_light

custom_switch_bg_focused_holo_light

drawable/custom_switch_bg_holo_light

Solution 7 - Android

You can use Android Material Components.

enter image description here

build.gradle:

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'

layout.xml:

<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButtonToggleGroup
        android:id="@+id/toggleGroup"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:checkedButton="@id/btn_one_way"
        app:singleSelection="true">

    <Button
            style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.OutlinedButton"
            android:id="@+id/btn_one_way"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="One way trip" />

    <Button
            style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.OutlinedButton"
            android:id="@+id/btn_round"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Round trip" />

</com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButtonToggleGroup>

Solution 8 - Android

You can use the regular Switch widget and just call setTextOn() and setTextOff(), or use the android:textOn and android:textOff attributes.

Solution 9 - Android

Use the code below to create a custom switch button like the one shown below.

enter image description here

<androidx.appcompat.widget.SwitchCompat
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/customSwitch"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
		android:checked="false"
        app:track="@drawable/track"
        android:thumb="@drawable/thumb"
        android:text="" />

@drawable/track

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

            <corners android:radius="100sp"/>
            <stroke android:color="#8e8e8e"
                android:width="1dp"/>
        </shape>
    </item>

    <item android:state_checked="true">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="@color/color_green"/>      <!--color name="color_green">#3bd391</color-->

<inset xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:insetLeft="4dp"
    android:insetTop="4dp"
    android:insetRight="4dp"
    android:insetBottom="4dp">
    <layer-list android:paddingMode="stack">
        <item>
            <ripple android:color="?attr/android:colorControlHighlight">
                <item>
                    <shape android:shape="rectangle"
                        android:tint="?attr/android:colorButtonNormal">
                        <corners android:radius="8dp"/>
                        <solid android:color="@android:color/white" />
                        <padding android:left="8dp"
                            android:top="6dp"
                            android:right="8dp"
                            android:bottom="6dp" />
                    </shape>
                </item>
            </ripple>
        </item>
        <item android:gravity="left|fill_vertical">
            <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                <corners android:radius="4dp"/>
                <size android:width="8dp" />
                <solid android:color="@color/toggle_color" />
            </shape>
        </item>
        <item android:gravity="right|fill_vertical">
            <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                <corners android:radius="4dp"/>
                <size android:width="8dp" />
                <solid android:color="@color/toggle_color" />
            </shape>

With the Material Components Library you can use the MaterialButtonToggleGroup:

        <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButtonToggleGroup
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:checkedButton="@id/b1"
            app:selectionRequired="true"
            app:singleSelection="true">

            <Button
                style="?attr/materialButtonOutlinedStyle"
                android:id="@+id/b1"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="OPT1" />

            <Button
                style="?attr/materialButtonOutlinedStyle"
                android:id="@+id/b2"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="OPT2" />
