How to change Width of Android's Switch track?

Question

I’m going crazy with this tiny problem. I have a ‘switch’ Form widget, but no
matter how much I try, I cannot make it narrower. Even if I have one character
instead of ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’, the size of switch remains the same. The ‘thumb’
becomes small, but it has to be dragged over the same distance as before.
Changing the ‘layout_width’ to a smaller value simply cuts off the remaining
track. ‘minWidth’ doesnt seem to do anything.

Anybody knows how I can do this? Ideally I want just an empty thumb and I’ll
colour code both thumb to know which is which.

XML code:

<Switch
     android:id="@+id/switch3"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:text="Switch"
     android:textOff=" "
     android:textOn=" " />

I am gettin this: ion here" src="https://imgs.xnip.cn/cj/l/14/4227ba96-d75f-48f6-bb2d-9416e60c582e.png" />

but I want something like this: ion here" src="https://imgs.xnip.cn/cj/l/43/8626fd51-6241-4ac6-94b6-720ec72dc4c4.png" />

Answer 1

set your desired width of switch in this attribute.

android:switchMinWidth

like

<Switch
android:id="@+id/switchVisitAgain"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_margin="1dp"
android:checked="false"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:switchMinWidth="56dp"
android:textOff=""
android:textOn=""
android:thumb="@drawable/round_button"
android:track="@drawable/button_black" />
