Switch button - disable swipe function

Question

I have a switch button (actually is a custom one) and I want to disable the swipe functionality for some reason; I want the user to be able to click it only. Is

Answer 1

A better way is to prevent the Switch class from receiving MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE events.

This can be done with:

switchButton.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
  @Override
  public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    return event.getActionMasked() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE;
  }
});

Then you are free to set a click listener on the switch as appropriate.

Check out the implementation of Switch to see how dragging works. It's pretty cool!
