Android SeekBar Flipped Horizontally
After fiddling around with some code this is what I got and it seems to work pretty well. Hopefully it will help someone else in the future.
public class ReversedSeekBar extends SeekBar {
public ReversedSeekBar(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public ReversedSeekBar(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public ReversedSeekBar(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
float px = this.getWidth() / 2.0f;
float py = this.getHeight() / 2.0f;
canvas.scale(-1, 1, px, py);
super.onDraw(canvas);
}
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
event.setLocation(this.getWidth() - event.getX(), event.getY());
return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
}
This was thrown together with the help of these two questions:
- How can you display upside down text with a textview in Android?
- How can I get a working vertical SeekBar in Android?
Have you tried seekbar.setRotation( 180 )? It flips the seekbar 180 degrees and is upside down, meaning left side is max, right side is 0 with the color on the right of the thumb. No need to create a custom seekbar this way.
