<p style="clear:left">The {@link android.widget.ToggleButton} and {@link android.widget.Switch}
controls are subclasses of {@link android.widget.CompoundButton} and function in the same manner, so
you can implement their behavior the same way.</p>

<h2 id="HandlingEvents">Responding to Click Events</h2>

<p>When the user selects a {@link android.widget.ToggleButton} and {@link android.widget.Switch},
the object receives an on-click event.</p>

<p>To define the click event handler, add the <code><a
href="/reference/android/R.attr.html#onClick">android:onClick</a></code> attribute to the
<code>&lt;ToggleButton&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;Switch&gt;</code> element in your XML
layout. The value for this attribute must be the name of the method you want to call in response
to a click event. The {@link android.app.Activity} hosting the layout must then implement the
corresponding method.</p>

<p>For example, here's a {@link android.widget.ToggleButton} with the <code><a
href="/reference/android/R.attr.html#onClick">android:onClick</a></code> attribute:</p>

<pre>
&lt;ToggleButton 
    android:id="@+id/togglebutton"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textOn="Vibrate on"
    android:textOff="Vibrate off"
    android:onClick="onToggleClicked"/>
</pre>

<p>Within the {@link android.app.Activity} that hosts this layout, the following method handles the
click event:</p>

<pre>
public void onToggleClicked(View view) {
    // Is the toggle on?
    boolean on = ((ToggleButton) view).isChecked();
    
    if (on) {
        // Enable vibrate
    } else {
        // Disable vibrate
    }
}
</pre>

<p>The method you declare in the {@link android.R.attr#onClick android:onClick} attribute
must have a signature exactly as shown above. Specifically, the method must:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Be public</li>
  <li>Return void</li>
  <li>Define a {@link android.view.View} as its only parameter (this will be the {@link
android.view.View} that was clicked)</li>
</ul>

<p class="note"><strong>Tip:</strong> If you need to change the state
yourself,
use the {@link android.widget.CompoundButton#setChecked(boolean)} or {@link
android.widget.CompoundButton#toggle()} method to change the state.</p>



<h3 id="ClickListener">Using an OnCheckedChangeListener</h3>

<p>You can also declare a click event handler programmatically rather than in an XML layout. This
might be necessary if you instantiate the {@link android.widget.ToggleButton} or {@link
android.widget.Switch} at runtime or you need to
declare the click behavior in a {@link android.app.Fragment} subclass.</p>
<h2 id="ClickListener">Responding to Button Presses</h2>

<p>To declare the event handler programmatically, create an {@link
android.widget.CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener} object and assign it to the button by calling
{@link
android.widget.CompoundButton#setOnCheckedChangeListener}. For example:</p>
<p>
  To detect when the user activates the button or switch, create an {@link
  android.widget.CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener} object and assign it
  to the button by calling {@link
  android.widget.CompoundButton#setOnCheckedChangeListener
  setOnCheckedChangeListener()}. For example:
</p>

<pre>
ToggleButton toggle = (ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.togglebutton);
