Providing track drawable to switch messes up appearance

Question

I'm trying to set a custom drawable as track to a switch, but when I do that, it makes the thumb fill the track instead of overflowing it.

Switch without custom drawable:

Switch with the custom drawable applied:

Expected:

Style of the switch:

<style name="switch_style">
    <item name="android:track">@drawable/switch_track_selector</item>
    <item name="android:thumb">@drawable/switch_thumb_selector</item>
</style>

Any idea?

Answer 1

You can achieve this using the SwitchComapt instead of switch and changing the theme. You can have a look on this question.

Edit

if you are using the support libraries then you don't need any specific them even, Your SwichComapt will be automatically as per your current theme.
