Android SeekBar Thumb Customization Guide

In Android, customizing the Thumb of a SeekBar allows for slider customization. The specific steps are as follows:

  1. Create a custom Thumb Drawable, which can be an image or a Shape Drawable.
  2. Set the android:thumb attribute in the SeekBar’s xml layout file to a custom Thumb Drawable.
<SeekBar
    android:id="@+id/seekBar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:thumb="@drawable/custom_thumb"
    />
  1. If using an image as a thumbnail, you need to create a new XML file in the res/drawable directory, define a selector, and set images corresponding to different states of the thumbnail.
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/thumb_pressed" android:state_pressed="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/thumb_normal"/>
</selector>
  1. If you are using Shape Drawable as the Thumb, you can directly create an XML file in the res/drawable directory, define a shape, and set it as the Thumb.
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="oval">
    <size
        android:width="20dp"
        android:height="20dp"/>
    <solid
        android:color="#FF0000"/>
</shape>

This way, you can customize the SeekBar slider.
