1. Create a default project. The project tree will look like this.
2. Edited MainAcitvity.java
package com.example.seekbars; import android.os.Bundle; import android.app.Activity; import android.view.Menu; import android.widget.ProgressBar; import android.widget.SeekBar; import android.widget.SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener; import android.widget.TextView; public class MainActivity extends Activity { SeekBar seekbar; //SeekBar variable TextView value; //TextView variable ProgressBar progressbar; //ProgressBar variable @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); seekbar = (SeekBar) findViewById(R.id.seekBar1); //link "seekbar" with "seekBar1" from xml value = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1); //link "value" with "textView1" from xml progressbar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar1); //link "progress" with "progressBar1" from xml seekbar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new OnSeekBarChangeListener() { //link "seekbar" with seek bar change listener public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress, boolean fromUser) { value.setText("SeekBar at " + progress + "%"); //update "progress" value and pass it to textview progressbar.setProgress(progress); // also update "progress" value and pass it to progress bar } public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } }); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu); return true; } }
3. Edit 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" > <SeekBar android:id="@+id/seekBar1" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_marginTop="28dp" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/textView1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_marginTop="86dp" android:gravity="center" /> <ProgressBar android:id="@+id/progressBar1" style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_below="@+id/textView1" /> </RelativeLayout>
