Android Vertical Switch Widget

Question

Using android, I would like to implement a vertical switch widget implementation. As far as I can tell, the switches seem to have a horizontal orientation. I would like to have something like the following:

After looking at the topics here and searching google, I still need to find something that can give me this. Everything I'm looking for gives me only horizontal implementation.

so I can create a typical horizontal switch

<Switch android:id="@+id/switch_button" android:layout_width="130dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/label" android:layout_gravity="center" android:switchMinWidth="130dp" android:thumb="@drawable/switch_selector" android:track="@drawable/track_selector" > </Switch> 

but there seems to be no good way to set the orientation. I know the question is a little high. Is there some kind of attribute that is immediately available that will allow me to have a vertical switch? Or do I need to create a custom switch and possibly change the onDraw method so that it flips vertically? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Try android: rotation = "90" as follows:

  <Switch android:id="@+id/switch_button" android:layout_width="130dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/label" android:layout_gravity="center" android:switchMinWidth="130dp" android:thumb="@drawable/switch_selector" android:track="@drawable/track_selector" android:rotation="90"> </Switch>

There is no quick attribute for vertical orientation .. Sorry :) First you can look at the switch code and see if you can copy and manipulate it. Secondly, you can just realize yours. You have a layout with a button inside. use onTouchListener to move it from side to side. No need to use "onDraw".

Try switching witch graphics and use photos like this. You have included in your post. Here is an example of such toggle buttons: Toggle button using two images in different states
