Switch Button in Android Studio and use of Shared Preferences

Use of Switch Button in Android Studio and Save it's state to Shared Preferences.

In this post, We create a Switch Button in Android Studio and then save it's value to Shared Preferences.

For that, we create a Switch Compat, a Save button, and Text View to show Button's State in our XML file.

activitymain.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
 <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
   xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"  
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"  
   android:layout_width="match_parent"  
   android:layout_height="match_parent"  
   tools:context=".MyToggleActivity">  
   <android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat  
     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
     android:id="@+id/switchbutton"  
     android:checked="true">  
   </android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat>  
   <Button  
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
     android:id="@+id/button"  
     android:text="save">  
   </Button>  
   <TextView  
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
     android:id="@+id/textview"  
     android:text="Checked"  
     android:paddingLeft="20dp"  
     android:textSize="16dp"  
     app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/button">  
   </TextView>  
 </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>  

Then we create that Switch compat and shared preferences to save the value of switch compat in our java file.

MainActivity.java

 package studio.harpreet.sampleproject;  
 import android.content.Intent;  
 import android.content.SharedPreferences;  
 import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;  
 import android.os.Bundle;  
 import android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat;  
 import android.view.View;  
 import android.widget.Button;  
 import android.widget.CompoundButton;  
 import android.widget.TextView;  
 import android.widget.Toast;  
 public class MyToggleActivity extends AppCompatActivity {  
   SwitchCompat switchc;  
   Button btn;  
   TextView tv;  
   @Override  
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
     setContentView(R.layout.activity_my_toggle);  
     switchc = findViewById(R.id.switchbutton);  
     btn = findViewById(R.id.button);  
     tv = findViewById(R.id.textview);  
     SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("studio.harpreet.sampleproject",MODE_PRIVATE);  
     final SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();  
     switchc.setChecked(sharedPreferences.getBoolean("switch",true));  
     btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {  
       @Override  
       public void onClick(View view) {  
         if(switchc.isChecked())  
         {  
           editor.putBoolean("switch",true);  
           editor.apply();  
           tv.setText("Checked State");  
         }  
         if(!switchc.isChecked())  
         {  
           editor.putBoolean("switch",false);  
           editor.apply();  
           tv.setText("! Checked State");  
         }  
         editor.commit();  
         Toast.makeText(MyToggleActivity.this, "Setting Saved", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();  
       }  
     });  
   }  
 }  

Now, Your Switch Compat Button is successfully created and saved in Shared Preferences.
