1)Create a new android application project in eclipse 


2))Then after craeting a new project you have to edit the activity_mail.xml file , As shown below.

     
3)Create a layout file for customizing list view items in the file 
                              
                                                         

4) Now you have to code the main activity  file as shown below
                                                                      public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 
    String[] countries = new String[] {
        "India",
        "Pakistan",
        "Sri Lanka",
        "China",
        "Bangladesh",
        "Nepal",
        "Afghanistan",
        "North Korea",
        "South Korea",
        "Japan"
    };
 
    // Array of booleans to store toggle button status
    public boolean[] status = {
        true,
        false,
        false,
        false,
        false,
        false,
        false,
        false,
        false,
        false
    };
 
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
 
        /** Restore from the previous state if exists */
        if(savedInstanceState!=null){
            status = savedInstanceState.getBooleanArray("status");
        }
 
        ListView lvCountries = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lv_countries);
 
        OnItemClickListener itemClickListener = new OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> lv, View item, int position, long id) {
 
                ListView lView = (ListView) lv;
 
                SimpleAdapter adapter = (SimpleAdapter) lView.getAdapter();
 
                HashMap<String,Object> hm = (HashMap) adapter.getItem(position);
 
                /** The clicked Item in the ListView */
                RelativeLayout rLayout = (RelativeLayout) item;
 
                /** Getting the toggle button corresponding to the clicked item */
                ToggleButton tgl = (ToggleButton) rLayout.getChildAt(1);
 
                String strStatus = "";
                if(tgl.isChecked()){
                    tgl.setChecked(false);
                    strStatus = "Off";
                    status[position]=false;
                }else{
                    tgl.setChecked(true);
                    strStatus = "On";
                    status[position]=true;
                }
                Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), (String) hm.get("txt") + " : " + strStatus, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        };
 
        lvCountries.setOnItemClickListener(itemClickListener);
 
        // Each row in the list stores country name and its status
        List<HashMap<String,Object>> aList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String,Object>>();
 
        for(int i=0;i<10;i++){
            HashMap<String, Object> hm = new HashMap<String,Object>();
            hm.put("txt", countries[i]);
            hm.put("stat",status[i]);
            aList.add(hm);
        }
 
        // Keys used in Hashmap
        String[] from = {"txt","stat" };
 
        // Ids of views in listview_layout
        int[] to = { R.id.tv_item, R.id.tgl_status};
 
        // Instantiating an adapter to store each items
        // R.layout.listview_layout defines the layout of each item
        SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(getBaseContext(), aList, R.layout.lv_layout, from, to);
 
        lvCountries.setAdapter(adapter);
    }
 
    /** Saving the current state of the activity
    * for configuration changes [ Portrait <=> Landscape ]
    */
    @Override
    protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
        super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
        outState.putBooleanArray("status", status);
    }
 
    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
        return true;
    }
}                             

5)Now the listview with toggle button  is ready
