Question

I have the following ToggleButton in xml:

<RelativeLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="46dp"
        android:gravity="center" >

        <ToggleButton
            android:id="@+id/toggleButton1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:text="ToggleButton"
            android:textOff="Inactive"
            android:textOn="Active" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/label_note"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="30dp"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_marginRight="38dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="2dip"
            android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/check_note"
            android:text="@+id/label"
            android:textSize="25px" />
        ...
</RelativeLayout>

In my class that extends a listview I would like to programatically set the togglebutton on active/inactive based on some criterias. I would like to specify that I do not what the user to be able to click on the togglebutton and set it on active or inactive. How to do that? Need some help. Appreciate!

Answer 1

to make the button not clickable, just disable the toggle button:

mToggleButton.setEbabled(false);

or set it not to be clickable:

mToggleButton.setClickable(false);

and for programatically change the button state, use:

mToggleButton.setActivated(true); 
mToggleButton.setActivated(false);
