Parameters
`resId`	`int`: The text as a string resource ID

setSwitchTextOn

public void setSwitchTextOn (CharSequence onText)

Set the text displayed on the switch widget in the on state. This should be a very short string, one word if possible.

Parameters
`onText`	`CharSequence`: Text to display in the on state

setSwitchTextOn

public void setSwitchTextOn (int resId)

Set the text displayed on the switch widget in the on state. This should be a very short string, one word if possible.
