# Class Switch

java.lang.Object
com.codename1.ui.Component
com.codename1.components.Switch

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Animation, Editable, ActionSource, StyleListener, ReleasableComponent`

public class Switch extends Component implements ActionSource, ReleasableComponent

The on/off switch is a checkbox of sort (although it derives container) that represents its state as a switch When using the Android native theme, this implementation follows the Material Design Switch guidelines: https://material.io/guidelines/components/selection-controls.html#selection-controls-radio-button

Customizing Look and Feel

You can customize the look and feel of a switch using styles, either directly in the theme.res file or in CSS. This component consists of two elements: the "thumb" the "track". The "thumb" is the circular handle that can be toggled/dragged between an on and off position. The "track" is the background track along which the "thumb" appears to slide when it is dragged/toggled.

The thumb will be rendered using Switch's `Style#getFgColor()`. It will use the selected style, when in the "on" position, the unselected style when in the "off" position, and the disabled style, when `#isEnabled()` is false.

The track will be rendered using the Switch's `Style#getBgColor()`. It will use the selected style, when in the "on" position, and the unselected style when in the "off" position.

You can also adjust the thumb and track sizes using the following theme constants:

switchThumbScaleYA floating point value used to scale the thumb's diameter, relative to the font size. In the android native theme, this value is set to 1.5. On iOS, it is set to 1.4. switchTrackScaleYA floating point value used to scale the track's height, relative the the font size. In the android native theme, this value is set to 0.9. On iOS, it is set to 1.5 switchTrackScaleXA floating point value used to scale the track's width relative to the font size. In the Android native theme, this value is set to 3.0. On iOS it is 2.5 switchTrackOffOutlineWidthMMA floating point value used to set the stroke/outline thickness of the track when the switch is in the "off" position. In the Android native theme, this is set to 0. On iOS it is 0.25 switchTrackOnOutlineWidthMMA floating point value used to set the stroke/outline thickness of the track when the switch is in the "on" position. In both the Android native theme and the iOS native theme, this is set to 0. switchTrackOffOutlineColorThe color used to stroke the outline for the track when the switch is in the "off" position, expressed as a base-16 int. In the iOS native theme, this is set to "cccccc". switchTrackOnOutlineColorThe color used to stroke the outline for the track when the switch is in the "on" position, expressed as a base-16 int. This is currently not used in either Android or iOS. switchThumbInsetMMAn inset to use when rendering the thumb that will cause it to be inset from the edge of the track. In the iOS native theme, this is 0.25

IMPORTANT: when changing the UIID of the switch the constants above implicitly change to match the new UIID with the same convetion. So if your UIID is `MySwitch` then a theme constant will become: `myswitchTrackScaleY`. Notice that the whole UIID is lower cased...

CSS used in the Android native theme:

    `#Constants {
    ...
    switchThumbPaddingInt: 2;
    switchThumbScaleY: "1.5";
    switchTrackScaleY: "0.9";
    switchTrackScaleX: "3";
    switchTrackOffOutlineWidthMM: "0";
    switchTrackOnOutlineWidthMM: "0";
    switchTrackOffOutlineColor: "cccccc";
    switchThumbInsetMM: "0";`
    Switch {
    color: rgb(237, 237, 237);
    background-color: rgb(159, 158, 158);

    }
    Switch.selected {
    color: rgb(34,44,50);
    background-color: rgb(117, 126, 132);
    }
    }

CSS used in the iOS native theme:

    `#Constants {
    ...
    switchThumbPaddingInt: 2;
    switchThumbScaleY: "1.4";
    switchTrackScaleY: "1.5";
    switchTrackScaleX: "2.5";
    switchTrackOffOutlineWidthMM: "0.25";
    switchTrackOnOutlineWidthMM: "0";
    switchTrackOffOutlineColor: "cccccc";
    switchThumbInsetMM: "0.25";`
    Switch {
    color: white;
    background-color: white;

    }
    Switch.selected {
    color: white;
    background-color: rgb(61, 216, 76);

    }
    }

Using Custom Thumb and Track Images

You can optionally provide custom images for use as the track or thumb via the following theme constants

- switchThumbOnImage

- switchThumbOffImage

- switchThumbDisabledImage

- switchOnTrackImage

- switchOffTrackImage

- switchDisabledTrackImage

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### Switch

    public Switch()
    Default constructor

  - ### Switch

    public Switch(String uiid)

    This constructor should be used when customizing theme constants for a different UIID

    ###### Parameters

    - `uiid`: @param uiid accepts an alternate UIID for switch which might be necessary for theme constants

- ## Method Details

  - ### getDragRegionStatus

    protected int getDragRegionStatus(int x, int y)
    Description copied from class: `Component`

    Indicates if the section within the X/Y area is a "drag region" where we expect people to drag or press in which case we can instantly start dragging making perceived performance faster. This is invoked by the implementation code to optimize drag start behavior

    ###### Parameters

    - `x`: x location for the touch

    - `y`: y location for the touch

    ###### Returns

    one of the DRAG_REGION_* values

  - ### styleChanged

    public void styleChanged(String propertyName, Style source)

    Invoked to indicate a change in a propertyName of a Style

    NOTE By default this will trigger a call to `Container#revalidate()` on the parent container, which is expensive. You can disable this behavior by calling `CN.setProperty("Component.revalidateOnStyleChange", "false")`. The intention is to change this behavior so that the default is to "not" revalidate on style change, so we encourage you to set this to "false" to ensure for future compatibility.

    ###### Parameters

    - `propertyName`: the property name that was changed

      `styleChanged` in interface `StyleListener`
