Change Checkbox value without triggering onCheckChanged

Question

I have setOnCheckedChangeListener implemented for my checkbox

Is there a way I can call

checkbox.setChecked(false);
         


        

Answer 1

My interpretation which i think is the easiest
May be helpful)

public class ProgrammableSwitchCompat extends SwitchCompat {

    public boolean isCheckedProgrammatically = false;

    public ProgrammableSwitchCompat(final Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public ProgrammableSwitchCompat(final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public ProgrammableSwitchCompat(final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs, final int defStyleAttr) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
    }

    @Override
    public void setChecked(boolean checked) {
        isCheckedProgrammatically = false;
        super.setChecked(checked);
    }

    public void setCheckedProgrammatically(boolean checked) {
        isCheckedProgrammatically = true;
        super.setChecked(checked);
    }
}

use it

@Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton compoundButton, boolean on) {
    if (((ProgrammableSwitchCompat) compoundButton).isCheckedProgrammatically) {
        return;
    }
    //...
    ((ProgrammableSwitchCompat) compoundButton).setCheckedProgrammatically(true);
    //...
    ((ProgrammableSwitchCompat) compoundButton).setCheckedProgrammatically(false);
    //...
}

use will trigger setChecked(boolean) function
that is all

class MyCheckBox @JvmOverloads constructor(
    context: Context,
    attrs: AttributeSet? = null,
    defStyleAttr: Int = R.attr.switchStyle
) : AppCompatCheckBox(context, attrs, defStyleAttr) {

    var programmatically = false

    override fun setChecked(checked: Boolean) {
        programmatically = false
        super.setChecked(checked)
    }

    fun setCheckedProgrammatically(checked: Boolean) {
        programmatically = true
        super.setChecked(checked)
    }
}
