android - Change "on" color of a Switch

Question

I'm using a standard Switch control with the holo.light theme in a ICS app.

I want to change the highlighted or on state color of the Toggle Button from the standard light blue to green.

This should be easy, but I can't seem to work out how to do it.

Answer 1

Late to party but this is how I did

Style

 <style name="SCBSwitch" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
        <!-- active thumb & track color (30% transparency) -->
        <item name="colorControlActivated">#46bdbf</item>

        <!-- inactive thumb color -->
        <item name="colorSwitchThumbNormal">#f1f1f1
        </item>

        <!-- inactive track color (30% transparency) -->
        <item name="android:colorForeground">#42221f1f
        </item>
    </style>

Colors

Layout

<android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:checked="false"
    android:theme="@style/SCBSwitch" />

Result
