Android SeekBar set progress value

Question

I want the SeekBar progress to change whenever I click a button. Using setProgress() works only for initial value. It throws an error if I use it

Answer 1

Try this :

seekBar.setMax(50);
seekBar.setProgress(22);

instead of :

seekBar.setProgress(22); seekBar.setMax(50);

Only if you set the Max Value first, can the SeekBar get an idea of how much progress is actually made, when you set the progressValue.

This actually made a difference for me when I wanted a default value for my Progress Bar
