- * options. The user may drag the "thumb" back and forth to choose the selected option,
- * or simply tap to toggle as if it were a checkbox. The {@link #setText(CharSequence) text}
- * property controls the text displayed in the label for the switch, whereas the
- * {@link #setTextOff(CharSequence) off} and {@link #setTextOn(CharSequence) on} text
- * controls the text on the thumb. Similarly, the
- * {@link #setTextAppearance(android.content.Context, int) textAppearance} and the related
- * setTypeface() methods control the typeface and style of label text, whereas the
- * {@link #setSwitchTextAppearance(android.content.Context, int) switchTextAppearance} and
- * the related setSwitchTypeface() methods control that of the thumb.
