Class Overview

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 or use the arrow keys. Placing focusable widgets to the left or right of a SeekBar is discouraged.

Clients of the SeekBar can attach a SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener to be notified of the user's actions.

Public Methods

public void onInitializeAccessibilityEvent ( AccessibilityEvent event)

Initializes an AccessibilityEvent with information about this View which is the event source. In other words, the source of an accessibility event is the view whose state change triggered firing the event.

Example: Setting the password property of an event in addition to properties set by the super implementation:

          public void onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent event) {
     super.onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(event);
     event.setPassword(true);
 }
         

If an View.AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(AccessibilityDelegate) its onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(View, AccessibilityEvent) is responsible for handling this call.

Note: Always call the super implementation before adding information to the event, in case the default implementation has basic information to add.

Parameters
event The event to initialize.

public void onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfo ( AccessibilityNodeInfo info)

Parameters
info The instance to initialize.

public void setOnSeekBarChangeListener ( SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener l)

Added in API level 1

Parameters
l The seek bar notification listener
