Android Rating Bar & Toggle button

In this tutorial we are creating Rating bar and some other basic components as Toggle button, Check Box. In rating bar we accepted user rating and displayed the rating as a Toast message.

This RatingBar we can create by two technics here

using button click listner we can call getRating() method .

i.e

buttonrate.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                String s = String.valueOf(rb1.getRating()) ;
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),s, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });

2. implement OnRatingBarChangeListener to accept user rating and display it as a Toast message.
i.e.

rb1.setOnRatingBarChangeListener(this);

 //implements OnRatingBarChangeListener methods.

@Override
    public void onRatingChanged(RatingBar ratingBar, float rating,
            boolean fromUser) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
         Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "New Rating: " + rating,
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
       
       
    }

Here, the rating bar is registered to the android.widget.RatingBar.OnRatingBarChangeListener using the method ratingbar.setOnRatingBarChangeListener(). When the event (user clicking on rating bar) occurs it calls onRatingChanged() method. For simplicity, we display a Toast message with user’s rating.

        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
