Question

I have a requirement where I need to implement a thumbs up, thumbs down type of toggle button and I am struggling here to perceive how to accomplish this.
I am not sure if I could create a style and this style would have a where it would change the background of the image depending of how the button is pressed….

Anyone could share some ideas?

Regards,
Felipe

UPDATE:

Hey guys
Following the ideas given here, I implemented the following code:

tglBtnThumbsUp.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            tglBtnThumbsDown.setChecked(false);
            tglBtnThumbsUp.setChecked(true);

        }
    });
    tglBtnThumbsDown.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            tglBtnThumbsUp.setChecked(false);
            tglBtnThumbsDown.setChecked(true);

        }
    });

It works just the way I want.
Now, trying to find a “thumbs up” and “thumbs down” PSD files in the Internet so I can change the background, as I am a very very very bad designer and can’t do myself

Thanks to everyone!

Answer 1

Do you mean two toggle buttons side-by-side where the user turns one of them on, or do you mean one toggle that goes either up or down?

For just one togglebutton, use a selector in XML with the picture of an up thumb and a down thumb as state_checked=”true” or false respectively. Otherwise put two different toggle buttons side by side, and have one of them light up or not at a time with OnCheckedChangeListener.

Hope that made sense.
