I have used below switch in my application. 

<Switch
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:text=""
        android:thumb="@drawable/toggle_button_color"
        android:textOff="@string/text_estimate"
        android:textOn="@string/text_accurate" 
        android:textColor="@color/white" />

In above switch I am using toggle_button_color.xml to change the thumb color to green and red when switch is on and off respectively.

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="@color/red"  />
    <item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@color/green"  />   
</selector>

If I add this switch to an activity layout and then its wokring perfectly as below image. enter image description here enter image description here

But if I add this switch on Dialog using m_dialog.setContentView(R.layout.mylayout); then switch looks like below. Note that here mylayout.xml is a layout file in which I have added switch.

enter image description here

For android version below 5.0 lollipop switch is working fine as I want. Note that for some reasons I am using Theme.Holo.Light in my application so I can't use SwitchCompat.

I know that a similar question has been asked here Switch crashes when clicked on Android 5.0.

And also it is reported here https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=1704. I have also tried the work around which is mentioned in above link to add drawable image for thumb and track, but I don't understand why same switch is working on activity layout but not on Dialog.

Can anybody please help me out with this?

  • I've followed your setup with the available info (i.e. I don't know how you've set up your Dialog), but I cannot recreate the same result - the switch works on Nexus 7 2013 with Android 5.1 and on Android 5.0 emulator. Please provide more detail. – Kai May 02 '15 at 10:46

Thank you all for your response, but I solved it by my own. Earlier I was implementing the dialog using the Dialog class, which was causing the problems.

Dialog mDialog= new Dialog(getActivity(),android.R.style.Theme_Dialog);
mDialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
mDialog.setContentView(R.layout.mylayout);

I have even tried changing the themes but it didn't help.

Then I tried using DialogFragment, which solved the issue.

public class MyDialog extends DialogFragment{

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    getDialog().getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.mylayout, container, false);
    return v;
    }
}

And from my Activity class I invoke this Dialog as below.

MyDialog mDialog = new MyDialog();
mDialog .show(getFragmentManager(), "Hello");

I can't be sure without seeing your Dialog instantiation code (please add that if you can), but it sounds like there's a discrepancy between the Theme being used for your Activity and the theme being used for your Dialog. You may want to experiment with explicitly specifying the Dialog's Theme using the public Dialog (Context context, int theme) constructor.
