Vertical seekbar showing as a horizontal one in Android Studio

Question

I want to achieve a vertical (upright) seekbar to control volume. Currently it shows as a horizontal one. This image below is similar to the layout which I want to achieve.

After clicking the sound button, the seekbar to control volume should be open up when I click on sound icon.

Can anyone help me out with this problem?

Below is the code:

Answer 1

You can try the following library to create a custom vertical seekbar,

dependencies {
    compile 'com.h6ah4i.android.widget.verticalseekbar:verticalseekbar:0.7.0'
}

To use in your xml layout,

<!-- This library requires pair of the VerticalSeekBar and VerticalSeekBarWrapper classes -->
<com.h6ah4i.android.widget.verticalseekbar.VerticalSeekBarWrapper
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="150dp">
    <com.h6ah4i.android.widget.verticalseekbar.VerticalSeekBar
        android:id="@+id/mySeekBar"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:splitTrack="false"
        app:seekBarRotation="CW90" /> <!-- Rotation: CW90 or CW270 -->
</com.h6ah4i.android.widget.verticalseekbar.VerticalSeekBarWrapper>

Reference: https://github.com/h6ah4i/android-verticalseekbar

Update: To customize the seekbar, you need to add the android:thumb & android:progressDrawable. First of all, Create the following drawables into the drawable folder,

seekbar_background

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item>
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="#404040" />
            <corners android:radius="40dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</selector>

seekbar_progress

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="line">
    <stroke
        android:width="4dp"
        android:color="#777777" />
</shape>

seekbar

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:id="@android:id/background"
        android:drawable="@drawable/seekbar_background"
        android:left="2dp">
    </item>
    <item android:id="@android:id/progress">
        <clip android:drawable="@drawable/seekbar_progress" />
    </item>
</layer-list>

and finally,

seekbar_thumb

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item>
        <shape android:shape="oval">
            <solid android:color="#7FD319" />
            <size
                android:width="15dp"
                android:height="15dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</layer-list>

Now update your seekbar with the thumb & progreeDrawable,

 <!-- This library requires pair of the VerticalSeekBar and VerticalSeekBarWrapper classes -->
        <com.h6ah4i.android.widget.verticalseekbar.VerticalSeekBarWrapper
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_gravity="center">

            <com.h6ah4i.android.widget.verticalseekbar.VerticalSeekBar
                android:id="@+id/opacity_seek"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:background="@null"
                android:progressDrawable="@drawable/seekbar"
                android:splitTrack="false"
                android:thumb="@drawable/seekbar_thumb_green"
                app:seekBarRotation="CW270" /> <!-- Rotation: CW90 or CW270 -->
        </com.h6ah4i.android.widget.verticalseekbar.VerticalSeekBarWrapper>
