How do I get the thumb of an Android SeekBar to match the height of the SeekBar?

Question

Do I need to implement a custom thumb Drawable?

Answer 1

With some digging, I found how to supply a custom Drawable thumb. Here's an excerpt that may help others.

  ShapeDrawable thumb = new ShapeDrawable( new RectShape() );
  thumb.getPaint().setColor( 0x00FF00 );
  thumb.setIntrinsicHeight( 80 );
  thumb.setIntrinsicWidth( 30 );
  mySeekBar.setThumb( thumb );
