Effect when Android's switch changes state

Answer 1

You need to set background of Switch to disable ripple effect. In my case i set background null to achieve this.

 <Switch
    android:id="@+id/mySwitch"
    android:layout_below="@+id/tvStateDefault"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textOn="ON"
    android:thumb="@drawable/customswitchselector"
    android:track="@drawable/custom_track"
    android:showText="true"
    android:textOff="OFF"
    android:background="@null"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>
