Toggle Button is a special button that has two states  for eg :"on" and "off".It can be an alternative to Radio Buttons.
Below are some methods mentioned in this example :

setChecked() – used to mark toggle button as checked/unchecked
setTextOn() – used to display text on toggle button whenever it is CHECKED
setTextOff() – used to display text on toggle button whenever it is UnCHECKED.

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 ToggleButton toggle;
 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

  toggle = (ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.togglebut);
  // you can set text accordingly when checked or not
  toggle.setTextOn("Toggle is Checked");
  toggle.setTextOff("Toggle is not Checked");
  // you can set if toggle to be checked or not
  toggle.setChecked(true);
  toggle.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
   public void onClick(View v) {
    if (toggle.isChecked()) 
    {
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "is checked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
    else 
    { 
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "is not checked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
