My application will run on api level 9 devices or higher. Now i have a toggle_button on one of the layouts. I want to change this toggle button to switcher if the device is apilevel 14 or higher. How can i implement this? Sorry for my english.

If you are creating the content/pages in xml, simply copy your xml with same name but to the layout-v14 folder. Then change ToggleButton to SwitchButton, and Android will take care of rest :)
If you are coding it in jave, use: 

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH){
    //Add Switch
}else{
    //add toggle
}

And when you'll want to use both (when using defining in xml) with the same java code use: 

CompoundButton bt_toggle= (CompoundButton) findViewById(R.id.some_button);
bt_toggle.setChecked(false);

  • Thanks for answer. Can you advise some interesting library for supporting switchers in api level 9? – Valentin Baryshev Nov 24 '14 at 21:30

    This is your decision, Android support library weights around 1MB after compilation and proGuard run. I dont know anything better, but im not expert – Toumash Nov 24 '14 at 21:41

I have found a solution! link

It just adds a support library. And you can use switchers from api-level7!
