Switch button - disable swipe function

android

You can setClickable(false) to your Switch, then listen for the onClick() event within the Switch's parent and toggle it programmatically. The switch will still appear to be enabled but the swipe animation won't happen.

...

[In onCreate()]

Switch switchInternet = (Switch) findViewById(R.id.switch_internet);
switchInternet.setClickable(false);

...

[click listener]

public void ParentLayoutClicked(View v){
    Switch switchInternet = (Switch) findViewById(R.id.switch_internet);

    if (switchInternet.isChecked()) {
        switchInternet.setChecked(false);           
    } else {
        switchInternet.setChecked(true);    
    }       
}

...

[layout.xml]

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:onClick="ParentLayoutClicked"
        android:focusable="false"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <Switch
            android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
            android:layout_marginBottom="5dip"
            android:id="@+id/switch_internet"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textOff="NOT CONNECTED"
            android:textOn="CONNECTED"
            android:focusable="false"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"                                                
            android:text="@string/s_internet_status" />

    </RelativeLayout>

A better way is to prevent the Switch class from receiving MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE events.

This can be done with:

switchButton.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
  @Override
  public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    return event.getActionMasked() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE;
  }
});

Then you are free to set a click listener on the switch as appropriate.
