SwitchCompat is a version of the Switch widget which on devices back to API v7. It does not make any attempt to use the platform provided widget on those devices which it is available normally.

A Switch is a two-state toggle switch widget that can select between two 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 text property controls the text displayed in the label for the switch, whereas the off and on text controls the text on the thumb. Similarly, the textAppearance and the related setTypeface() methods control the typeface and style of label text, whereas the switchTextAppearance and the related setSwitchTypeface() methods control that of the thumb.

See the Toggle Buttons guide.
