Renders a boolean input (Android only).

This is a controlled component that requires an `onValueChange` callback that
updates the `value` prop in order for the component to reflect user actions.
If the `value` prop is not updated, the component will continue to render
the supplied `value` prop instead of the expected result of any user actions.
