Can I display both textOn and textOff in the switch?

Question

I have a switch that will choose between a man and a woman.

So, I set textOff and textOn to "male" and "female" respectively, but only one of the men or women is displayed, depending on the position of the switch.

How can I display both men and women?

So in ascii-art

I have

[Male /        ]
or 
[     / Female ]

but I want

[**Male** / Female]
[Male / **Female**]

Answer 1

Well, you can, but it's a bit of a hassle.

Here is what I did to get the following:

I am using a custom track switch. (A track is a container in which the thumb slides left and right.)

mMessengerSwitch.setTrackDrawable(new SwitchTrackTextDrawable(this,
        "LEFT", "RIGHT"));

SwitchTrackTextDrawable, (, API 23 Nexus 5):

/**
 * Drawable that generates the two pieces of text in the track of the switch, one of each
 * side of the positions of the thumb.
 */
public class SwitchTrackTextDrawable extends Drawable {

    private final Context mContext;

    private final String mLeftText;

    private final String mRightText;

    private final Paint mTextPaint;

    public SwitchTrackTextDrawable(@NonNull Context context,
            @StringRes int leftTextId,
            @StringRes int rightTextId) {
        mContext = context;

        // Left text
        mLeftText = context.getString(leftTextId);
        mTextPaint = createTextPaint();

        // Right text
        mRightText = context.getString(rightTextId);
    }

    private Paint createTextPaint() {
        Paint textPaint = new Paint();
        //noinspection deprecation
        textPaint.setColor(mContext.getResources().getColor(android.R.color.white));
        textPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
        textPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
        textPaint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.CENTER);
        // Set textSize, typeface, etc, as you wish
        return textPaint;
    }

    @Override
    public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
        final Rect textBounds = new Rect();
        mTextPaint.getTextBounds(mRightText, 0, mRightText.length(), textBounds);

        // The baseline for the text: centered, including the height of the text itself
        final int heightBaseline = canvas.getClipBounds().height() / 2 + textBounds.height() / 2;

        // This is one quarter of the full width, to measure the centers of the texts
        final int widthQuarter = canvas.getClipBounds().width() / 4;
        canvas.drawText(mLeftText, 0, mLeftText.length(),
                widthQuarter, heightBaseline,
                mTextPaint);
        canvas.drawText(mRightText, 0, mRightText.length(),
                widthQuarter * 3, heightBaseline,
                mTextPaint);
    }

    @Override
    public void setAlpha(int alpha) {
    }

    @Override
    public void setColorFilter(ColorFilter cf) {
    }

    @Override
    public int getOpacity() {
        return PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT;
    }
}
