However, I might not be taking the best approach, but this is how I have created some Switch like UIs in few of my apps. Here is the code -

<RadioGroup
        android:checkedButton="@+id/offer"
        android:id="@+id/toggle"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="30dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/margin_medium"
        android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="50dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/margin_medium"
        android:background="@drawable/pink_out_line"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <RadioButton
            android:layout_marginTop="1dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="1dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="1dp"
            android:id="@+id/search"
            android:background="@drawable/toggle_widget_background"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:button="@null"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:text="Search"
            android:textColor="@color/white" />

        <RadioButton
            android:layout_marginRight="1dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="1dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="1dp"
            android:id="@+id/offer"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@drawable/toggle_widget_background"
            android:button="@null"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:text="Offers"
            android:textColor="@color/white" />
    </RadioGroup>

pink_out_line.xml

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">
    <corners android:radius="2dp" />
    <solid android:color="#80000000" />
    <stroke
        android:width="1dp"
        android:color="@color/pink" />
</shape>

toggle_widget_background.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@color/pink" android:state_checked="true" />
    <item android:drawable="@color/dark_pink" android:state_pressed="true" />
    <item android:drawable="@color/transparent" />
</selector>

And here is the output -

This worked fantastic. The only modification I also made was adding android:textColor to the selector and applying that to the radio buttons text. Then I could have white text on the selected item and black text on the non-selected item. — runfaj, May 21 '16 at 23:29
I added android:textColor like below and removed android:textColor="@color/white" from radio button but radio button text color is not changing — Prashanth Debbadwar, Jun 14 '16 at 10:56
That's Awesome. I was getting confused between toggle button and switch button and Radio button. And after getting your solution now i am confirmed with radio button. — Jigar, Jul 21 '16 at 09:26

Its a simple xml design. It looks like iOS switch, check this below image

You need to create custom_thumb.xml and custom_track.xml

This is my switch,I need a very big switch so added layout_width/layout_height parameter

 <androidx.appcompat.widget.SwitchCompat
        android:id="@+id/swOnOff"
        android:layout_width="@dimen/_200sdp"
        android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/_50sdp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="@dimen/_50sdp"
        android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/_30sdp"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        app:showText="true"
        android:textSize="@dimen/_20ssp"
        android:fontFamily="@font/opensans_bold"
        app:track="@drawable/custom_track"
        android:thumb="@drawable/custom_thumb"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/_120sdp"/>

Now create custom_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:shape="oval">
            <solid android:color="#ffffff"/>
            <size android:width="@dimen/_100sdp"
                android:height="@dimen/_100sdp"/>
            <stroke android:width="1dp"
                android:color="#8c8c8c"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item android:state_checked="true">
        <shape android:shape="oval">
            <solid android:color="#ffffff"/>
            <size android:width="@dimen/_100sdp"
                android:height="@dimen/_100sdp"/>
            <stroke android:width="1dp"
                android:color="#34c759"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
</selector>

Now create custom_track.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:shape="rectangle">
            <corners android:radius="@dimen/_100sdp" />
            <solid android:color="#ffffff" />
            <stroke android:color="#8c8c8c" android:width="1dp"/>
            <size android:height="20dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item android:state_checked="true">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <corners android:radius="@dimen/_100sdp" />
            <solid android:color="#34c759" />
            <stroke android:color="#8c8c8c" android:width="1dp"/>
            <size android:height="20dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</selector>

@ArpitPatel that dimen file is coming from this dependency add this into your gradle file & boom that error will be gone ----- just copy * paste it *implementation 'com.intuit.sdp:sdp-android:1.0.6'* — Eddie Brock, Dec 18 '20 at 22:55

you can use the following code to change color and text :

<org.jraf.android.backport.switchwidget.Switch
                        android:id="@+id/th"
                        android:layout_width="match_parent"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        app:thumb="@drawable/apptheme_switch_inner_holo_light"
                        app:track="@drawable/apptheme_switch_track_holo_light"
                        app:textOn="@string/switch_yes"
                        app:textOff="@string/switch_no"
                        android:textColor="#000000"
                        />

Create a xml named colors.xml in res/values folder:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color name="red">#ff0000</color>
    <color name="green">#00ff00</color>
</resources>

In drawable folder, create a xml file my_btn_toggle.xml:

  <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="@color/red"  />
        <item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@color/green"  />
    </selector>

and in xml section defining your toggle button add:

android:background="@drawable/my_btn_toggle

to change the color of textOn and textOffuse

android:switchTextAppearance="@style/Switch"

Btw, if anyone has issues with XML errors (unbound tag prefix), make sure you add `xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"` to the top of the layout sheet. It will let you use the `app:` prefix. — Singular1ty, Aug 09 '14 at 00:59
quick appproach!! but i like to add few points here as when using this way put thumb and track attributes in xml to @null. — Ankur Chaudhary, May 12 '15 at 05:13

Next images are 9.paths drawables and they must be in different density (mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi). As example I give xxhdpi (you can resize they if u needed):

drawable/custom_switch_thumb_disabled_holo_light

custom_switch_thumb_disabled_holo_light

drawable/custom_switch_thumb_pressed_holo_light

custom_switch_thumb_pressed_holo_light

I achieved this

by doing:

1) custom selector:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_switch_off"
          android:state_checked="false"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_switch_on"
          android:state_checked="true"/>
</selector>

2) using v7 SwitchCompat

<android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@null"
    android:button="@drawable/checkbox_yura"
    android:thumb="@null"
    app:track="@null"/>

this makes the button to the start of the view. What if the button needs to be placed at the end of the Switch (after the text of the switch) – Tarun Kumar Jun 21 '19 at 10:06

You can use Android Material Components.

build.gradle:

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'

layout.xml:

<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButtonToggleGroup
        android:id="@+id/toggleGroup"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:checkedButton="@id/btn_one_way"
        app:singleSelection="true">

    <Button
            style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.OutlinedButton"
            android:id="@+id/btn_one_way"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="One way trip" />

You can use the regular Switch widget and just call setTextOn() and setTextOff(), or use the android:textOn and android:textOff attributes.

how can i change the text color of textOn & textOff ? – TooCool Apr 29 '14 at 08:25

with the `android:textColor` attribute. If on and off need different colors, you will need to make a color state list: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/color-list-resource.html – Karakuri Apr 29 '14 at 08:26

With the Material Components Library you can use the MaterialButtonToggleGroup:

        <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButtonToggleGroup
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:checkedButton="@id/b1"
            app:selectionRequired="true"
            app:singleSelection="true">

            <Button
                style="?attr/materialButtonOutlinedStyle"
                android:id="@+id/b1"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="OPT1" />

            <Button
                style="?attr/materialButtonOutlinedStyle"
                android:id="@+id/b2"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="OPT2" />

        </com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButtonToggleGroup>

More info on this link: http://www.mokasocial.com/2011/07/sexily-styled-toggle-buttons-for-android/

<ToggleButton 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/toggle_me"/>

and the drawable will be something like:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_checked="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/toggle_me_on" /> <!-- checked -->

There are two ways to create custom ToggleButton

1) By defining custom background 2) By creating custom button

Check http://www.zoftino.com/android-toggle-button for custom styles

Toggle button with custom background

Define drawable as xml resource like below and set it as background of toggle button. In the below example, drawable toggle_color is a color selector, you need to define this also.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<inset xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:insetLeft="4dp"
    android:insetTop="4dp"
    android:insetRight="4dp"
    android:insetBottom="4dp">
    <layer-list android:paddingMode="stack">
        <item>
            <ripple android:color="?attr/android:colorControlHighlight">
                <item>
                    <shape android:shape="rectangle"
                        android:tint="?attr/android:colorButtonNormal">
                        <corners android:radius="8dp"/>
                        <solid android:color="@android:color/white" />
                        <padding android:left="8dp"
                            android:top="6dp"
                            android:right="8dp"
                            android:bottom="6dp" />
                    </shape>
                </item>
            </ripple>
        </item>
        <item android:gravity="left|fill_vertical">
            <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                <corners android:radius="4dp"/>
                <size android:width="8dp" />
                <solid android:color="@color/toggle_color" />
            </shape>
        </item>
        <item android:gravity="right|fill_vertical">
            <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                <corners android:radius="4dp"/>
                <size android:width="8dp" />
                <solid android:color="@color/toggle_color" />
            </shape>
        </item>
    </layer-list>
</inset>

Toggle button with custom button

Create your own images for two state of toggle button (make sure images exist for all sizes of screens) and place them in drawable folder, create selector and set it as button.

   <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@drawable/toggle_on" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/toggle_off" />
