Discrete seekbar in Android app?

Question

I would like to create a seekbar for an Android app that allows the user to select a value between -5 and 5 (which maps to \"strongly disagree\" and \"strongly agree\"). How

Answer 1

I don't know what is the issue here, you add a seekbar having a range of 0-10. Then you can map these values to -5 if you substract -5 from the selected value.

EDIT

add android:max="10" to the xml definiton and you get a fixed size seekbar.

You maybe should consider to add a textview to denote the current selected value's textual representation such as: Strongly Disagree. To update this view, subscribe to onProgressChanged event and progress parameter will give you the chosen number.

SeekBar s = (SeekBar) findViewById(R.id.SeekBar);
s.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new OnSeekBarChangeListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar,
                            int progress, boolean fromUser) {
                                    }
}
