iPhone : How to detect the end of slider drag?

Question

How to detect the event when the user has ended the drag of a slider pointer?

Answer 1

I use the "Touch Up Inside" and "Touch up outside" notifications.

Interface Builder:

Connect both notifications in the Interface Builder to your receiving method. The method could look like this:

- (IBAction)lengthSliderDidEndSliding:(id)sender {
    NSLog(@"Slider did end sliding... Do your stuff here");
}

In code:

If you want to wire it programatically you would have something like this in your viewWillAppear (or wherever it fits you) call:

[_mySlider addTarget:self
              action:@selector(sliderDidEndSliding:) 
    forControlEvents:(UIControlEventTouchUpInside | UIControlEventTouchUpOutside)];

The receiving method would look like this:

- (void)sliderDidEndSliding:(NSNotification *)notification {
     NSLog(@"Slider did end sliding... Do your stuff here");
}
