How can I make an Android seek-bar move smoothly?

Question

I\'m trying to make a SeekBar move more smoothly than just jumping straight to the position. I\'m doing this as I\'ve got a SeekBar with 3 options for a slider-type implementati

Answer 1

Create a custom SeekBar

public class SmoothSeekBar extends AppCompatSeekBar implements SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener {

private SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener mOnSeekBarChangeListener;

private boolean mNeedCallListener = true;

private ValueAnimator mAnimator;

public SmoothSeekBar(Context context) {
    super(context);
    init(context);
}

public SmoothSeekBar(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    init(context);
}

public SmoothSeekBar(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
    init(context);
}


public void init(Context context) {
    Context mContext = context;
}

@Override
public void setOnSeekBarChangeListener(
        SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener onSeekBarChangeListener) {
    mOnSeekBarChangeListener = onSeekBarChangeListener;
    super.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(this);
}

@Override
public void setProgress(final int progress) {
    final int currentProgress = getProgress();
    if (mAnimator != null) {
        mAnimator.cancel();
        mAnimator.removeAllUpdateListeners();
        mAnimator.removeAllListeners();
        mAnimator = null;
        mNeedCallListener = true;
    }
    mAnimator = ValueAnimator.ofInt(currentProgress, progress);
    mAnimator.setDuration(getResources().getInteger(android.R.integer.config_longAnimTime));
    mAnimator.setInterpolator(new AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator());
    mAnimator.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator animation) {
            int value = (int) animation.getAnimatedValue();
            if (value == progress) {
                mNeedCallListener = true;
            } else {
                mNeedCallListener = false;
            }
            Logger.e("ProgressBar value ", value + "");
            SmoothSeekBar.super.setProgress(value);
        }
    });
    mAnimator.start();

}

@Override
public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress, boolean fromUser) {
    if (fromUser || mNeedCallListener) {
        if (mOnSeekBarChangeListener != null) {
            mOnSeekBarChangeListener.onProgressChanged(seekBar, progress, fromUser);
        }
    }
}

@Override
public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
    if (mOnSeekBarChangeListener != null) {
        mOnSeekBarChangeListener.onStartTrackingTouch(seekBar);
    }
}

@Override
public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
    if (mOnSeekBarChangeListener != null) {
        mOnSeekBarChangeListener.onStopTrackingTouch(seekBar);
    }
}
}

Now add SeekBar in xml and enjoy
