Android SeekBar Control

A SeekBar is an extension of ProgressBar that adds a draggable thumb. The user can touch the thumb and drag left or right to set the current progress level.
The SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener interface provides methods to perform even handling for seek bar.

EXAMPLE :


    <SeekBar
        android:id="@+id/seekBar1"
        android:layout_width="300dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:max="100"/>
File: activity_main.xml 

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"  
    android:layout_width="match_parent"  
    android:layout_height="match_parent"  
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"  
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"  
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"  
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"  
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >  
  
    <SeekBar  
        android:id="@+id/seekBar1"  
        android:layout_width="match_parent"  
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"  
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"  
        android:layout_marginTop="39dp" />  
  
</RelativeLayout>
File: MainActivity.java 

import android.os.Bundle;  
import android.app.Activity;  
import android.view.Menu;  
import android.widget.SeekBar;  
import android.widget.SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener;  
import android.widget.Toast;  
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnSeekBarChangeListener{  
    SeekBar seekBar1;  
    @Override  
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
          
        seekBar1=(SeekBar)findViewById(R.id.seekBar1);  
        seekBar1.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(this);  
    }  
    @Override  
    public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress,  
            boolean fromUser) {  
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"seekbar progress: "+progress, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();  
    }  
    @Override  
    public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {  
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"seekbar touch started!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();  
    }  
    @Override  
    public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {  
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"seekbar touch stopped!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();  
    }  
  
}

RESULT :
