UISlider that snaps to a fixed number of steps (like Text Size in the iOS 7 Settings app)

Question

I\'m trying to create a UISlider that lets you choose from an array of numbers. Each slider position should be equidistant and the slider should snap to each po

Answer 1

Similar approach as PengOne, but I did manual rounding to make it more clear what was happening.

- (IBAction)sliderDidEndEditing:(UISlider *)slider {
    // default value slider will start at
    float newValue = 0.0;

    if (slider.value < -1.5) {
        newValue = -3;
    } else if (slider.value < 1) {
        newValue = 0;
    } else if (slider.value < 3) {
        newValue = 2;
    } else if (slider.value < 5.5) {
        newValue = 4;
    } else if (slider.value < 8.5) {
        newValue = 7;
    } else if (slider.value < 11) {
        newValue = 10;
    } else {
        newValue = 12;
    }
    slider.value = newValue;
}

- (IBAction)sliderValueChanged:(id)sender {
    UISlider *slider = sender;
    float newValue = 0.0;

    if (slider.value < -1.5) {
        newValue = -3;
    } else if (slider.value < 1) {
        newValue = 0;
    } else if (slider.value < 3) {
        newValue = 2;
    } else if (slider.value < 5.5) {
        newValue = 4;
    } else if (slider.value < 8.5) {
        newValue = 7;
    } else if (slider.value < 11) {
        newValue = 10;
    } else {
        newValue = 12;
    }
    // and if you have a label displaying the slider value, set it
    [yourLabel].text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", (int)newValue];
}
