track changes size depending on the size of thumb

Doesn't work

android:switchMinWidth="52dp"

My xml code: activity_main.xml

<Switch
    android:id="@+id/switchViewOn"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
    android:text="Switch On"
    android:thumb="@drawable/switch_thumb"
    android:track="@drawable/switch_track"
    tools:ignore="UseSwitchCompatOrMaterialXml" />

<Switch
    android:id="@+id/switchViewOff"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Switch Off"
    android:thumb="@drawable/switch_thumb"
    android:track="@drawable/switch_track"
    tools:ignore="UseSwitchCompatOrMaterialXml" />

switch_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:dither="true" android:shape="rectangle" android:useLevel="false" android:visible="true">
            <solid android:color="#ffffff" />
            <corners android:radius="32dp" />
            <size android:width="32dp" android:height="32dp" />
            <stroke android:width="8dp" android:color="#00FFFFFF" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</selector>

switch_track.xml

Solution

  • I tried changing Switch to "androidx.appcompat.widget.SwitchCompat" because the thumb is not letting the width change also your android:switchMinWidth="52dp" did not work. The output reached is not similar but to some extent it is nearly working. Also since using androidx so had to change these as well - app:thumb="@drawable/switch_thumb" app:track="@drawable/switch_track"

    activity_mail.xml is below:
