implement "android:textOff" & "android:textOn" property for toggle button programatically in Android

I am trying to change the default On and Off text on the toggle button in Android. I am aware of how to do this in xml. My query is how to attain this programatically in code.

Could anyone please advise? Much thanks.

you can set in toggle button on/off in xml like below

// xml code for toggle button

 <ToggleButton
            android:id="@+id/toggBtn"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:textOn="On"         //when your button on by clicking "On" text will be displayed
            android:textOff="Off" />   //When you off the toggle button "Off" text will be displayed

in java code.

    ToggleButton toggleButton=(ToggleButton)findViewById(R.id.toggBtn);

toggleButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                if(toggleButton.getText().toString().equals("on")){
                ////do when toggle button is on 
                }else if(toggleButton.getText().toString().equals("off")){
                // do when toggle button is off 
                }   

            }
        });

You can try something like this:

ToggleButton btn = new ToggleButton(this); //this is optional and you should use your way to create the button :)
    if (btn.isChecked())
    {
        btn.setText("something");
    }
    else
    {
        btn.setText("something else");
    }

Advice: you should place this validation in an onclickListener :)
