Toggle button android

Question

I want my toggle button's ON text to be large and OFF text to be small. But can't do it.. any suggestions? This is what i was trying

mf=(ToggleButton)findViewById(R.id.mf);
 if(mf.isEnabled()==true)
 {
 mf.setTextSize(13);
 }
 else
 mf.setTextSize(8);

• Aracem: I think that code its ok. Where do you change the size? In the main activity or in other thread/class ?
• ross: main activity .. code 's not running
• Ricky: You can use if (mf.isEnabled()) instead of if(mf.isEnabled()==true).
• Aracem: Its true, the problem is that call. The correct method is mf.isChecked()
• ross: @muffinbubble nope.. it makes no difference.. same result!

Answer 1

Your code has to be called each time you click on your button. so use :

toggleButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
 @Override
 public void onClick(View v) {
 if (toggleButton.isChecked()) {
 toggleButton.setTextSize(13.0f);
 } else {
 toggleButton.setTextSize(8.0f);
 }
 }
});

You can set OnClickListner with a easy method. In your .xml put the option

android:onClick="nameOfMethod" 

And then in your code:

public void nameOfMethod(View v){
}

Where v is the togglebutton in this case ( ToggleButton mf = (ToggleButton)v; )

• Zoleas: Or if you have already a function called when you click on your button, put the code inside this function :)
• Aracem: I assumed that @ross put the code inside onclick but good apreciation
• Ricky: I assumed the same too. I guess we shouldn't!
• Zoleas: Yeah, I tried it and it works on my phone, so I thought he might have not put it insind onClick.
• Ricky: Nice addition Aracem, +1 Zoleas.

Answer 2

I put the solution here:

 mf=(ToggleButton)findViewById(R.id.mf);
 if(mf.isChecked())
 {
 mf.setTextSize(13);
 }
 else
 mf.setTextSize(8);

Use isChecked() instead of isEnabled()

• Aracem: Need more information. Logs if a error ocurs... check if R.id.mf ist ok

Answer 3

You need to do some debugging.

Firstly:

if(mf.isEnabled()==true) 

can be

if (mf.isEnabled()) 

Does mf.setTextSize(13) on it's own work as expected?

Add some logging:

 if (mf.isEnabled())
 {
 // Add some logging, is this line reached correctly?
 mf.setTextSize(13);
 }
 else
 // Add some logging, is this line reached correctly?
 mf.setTextSize(8);

Chances are you need to change isEnabled() to isChecked(). isEnabled() means exactly that, whether it's enabled or not. You want to know whether the button has been checked.

• ross: yes.. mf.setTextSize(13) works.. but neither do isEnabled or isChecked do .. and isEnabled alwaz is true.... so it sets the size to 13px
• Ricky: Zoleas' answer is probably correct, you need to set toggleButton.setOnClickListener.
