Disable changes on seekbar by client

Question

I have a SeekBar that will change the progress when I require it to, but I don't want the user to be able to change it manually.

I tried to set the SeekBar as this:

<SeekBar
        android:id="@+id/seekBar1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="65dp"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="78dp"
        android:progress="10"
        android:max="100"
        android:clickable="false"
        android:thumb="@drawable/transparent"
        android:progressDrawable="@drawable/customprogressbar" />

But it doesn't work.

How can I do this?

---

That's more or less an example of how this is going to be seen by the client.

I used a custom style because in the future I'll need to change the background images and the progress depending on which section the SeekBar will be.

Thanks for all!

Answer 1

One thing you can do is to disable the seekbar, Like seekbar.setEnabled(false)

doing so framework will not accept any Touch event from user and you Can change progress level only through code.

I hope this will help you.......

Though you might want to include a custom drawable as setting the seekbar to disabled will change the look of the seekbar. – Neither

@Arjun, I have tested what you sugest me, and it works ;) Thanks! – Joyajoyan

Answer 2

You can use android:enabled="false" , but it will display disable effect [darken your seekbar].

So if you want to display enable seekbar with no response to thumb activity, implement touch event handler with return true as shown below.

seekBar.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener(){
  @Override
  public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    return true;
 }
});

Obliging

How would I return the default onTouch behaviours? Say if I need to enable and disable touch according to a type. – Chops

Answer 3

Just return false from onTouch method of CustomSeekBar class.

Hope this works !

Answer 6

You can use seekbar.isEnabled = false to disable seekbar. It worked for me

Answer 7

You can write the above code in Kotlin as shown below. Returning true will stop the movement of the thumb, while returning false will not have any effect:

seekBar.setOnTouchListener { view: View?, motionEvent: MotionEvent? -> true }
