I want to use switch button in navigation drawer for adding and removing fragment from main layout.
this my code-
menuitem.xml`
<group
android:id="#+id/drawer_group1"
android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_timer"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_timer"

MainActivity.class
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(#NonNull MenuItem menuItem) {
switch (menuItem.getItemId()) {
switch (menuItem.getItemId()) {
case R.id.addFragment_Bt:
Switch switchCompat = findViewById(R.id.addMostUsed_Bt);
switchCompat.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
Fragment fragment = fragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.Most_Used_Fragment_container);

Answer 1

menuitem.xml
<item android:id="#+id/nav_switch"
app:actionLayout="#layout/switch_menu"
android:title="Send"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_menu_send"/>
switch_menu switch_menu is layout for switch.
switch_menu.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat
android:id="#+id/switch_id"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text=""/>
</LinearLayout>
Access Switch into activity:--
SwitchCompat switch_id;
switch_id = actionView.findViewById(R.id.switch_id);
switch_id.setChecked(true);
switch_id.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), switch_id.isChecked()? "is checked!!!" : "not checked!!!",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
The output using above code is:
I hope its work for you.

This Works for me.
///This is menu item.
<item
android:id="#+id/darkModeMenu"
android:title="Dark Mode"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_darkmode"
app:actionViewClass="androidx.appcompat.widget.SwitchCompat"
></item>
//write this on the on create() method of Activity.
val menuItem = navigationView.menu.findItem(R.id.darkModeMenu)
val switch_id = menuItem.actionView as SwitchCompat
switch_id.setChecked(true)
switch_id.setOnClickListener(View.OnClickListener {
Toast.makeText(
applicationContext,
if (switch_id.isChecked()) "is checked!!!" else "not checked!!!",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
).show()
})

I tried these methods but not works. After an hour of research. Finally, I found an answer.
Keep the focus on my point
First, add switch in the activity_main_drawer. Where your other drawer menu items
<item
android:id="#+id/app_bar_switch"
android:title="Switch"
app:actionLayout="#layout/switch_item"
app:showAsAction="always" />
and add below is XML by creating #layout/switch_item. Make sure to add id #+id/darkModeSwitch to your switch button. If XML creates automatically then just add the id to switch button.
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<Switch
android:id="#+id/darkModeSwitch"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
tools:ignore="UseSwitchCompatOrMaterialXml" />
</RelativeLayout>
And finally, add the below java code
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
setContentView(binding.getRoot());
// Code starts here
NavigationView navigationView = binding.navView; // your navigation drawer id
MenuItem menuItem = navigationView.getMenu().findItem(R.id.app_bar_switch); // first insialize MenuItem
#SuppressLint("UseSwitchCompatOrMaterialCode") Switch switchButton = (Switch) menuItem.getActionView().findViewById(R.id.darkModeSwitch);
// if you are using Switch in your #layout/switch_item then use Switch or use SwitchCompact
switchButton.setOnCheckedChangeListener((compoundButton, b) -> {
if (b){
Toast.makeText(this, "True", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else {
Toast.makeText(this, "False", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
I hope it helps.
