I\'m currently trying to implement SeekBarPreference class using http://android-journey.blogspot.com/2010/01/for-almost-any-application-we-need-to.html tutorial with Relativ
The problem with sliding here is due to notifyChange() call. That is interfering with the sliding somehow. I am also working on similar widget because I do not like the Dialog approach.
As promised here is the solution that I added to my open source project:
I have written a SeekBarPreference class that is embeded widget inside the preferences activity instead of popup dialog. You can download the jar file from:

The class documentation and usage is here: http://aniqroid.sileria.com/doc/api/com/sileria/android/view/SeekBarPreference.html
Also do not forget to checkout the handy companion class to auto show a summary when you change the SeekBar: http://aniqroid.sileria.com/doc/api/com/sileria/android/event/PrefsSeekBarListener.html
