Custom seekbar (thumb size, color and background)

All done in XML (no .png images). The clever bit is border_shadow.xml.

All about the vectors these days…

seekbar
This is your SeekBar (res/layout/???.xml):

SeekBar

<SeekBar
    android:id="@+id/seekBar_luminosite"
    android:layout_width="300dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"        
    android:progress="@integer/luminosite_defaut"
    android:progressDrawable="@drawable/seekbar_style"
    android:thumb="@drawable/custom_thumb"/>

Let’s make it stylish (so you can easily customize it later):

style

res/drawable/seekbar_style.xml:

<?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/border_shadow" >
    </item>

    <item 
        android:id="@android:id/progress" > 
        <clip 
            android:drawable="@drawable/seekbar_progress" />
    </item>
</layer-list>

thumb

res/drawable/custom_thumb.xml:

<?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="@color/colorDekraOrange"/>
            <size
                android:width="35dp"
                android:height="35dp"/>
        </shape>
    </item>   
</layer-list>

progress

res/drawable/seekbar_progress.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item 
        android:id="@+id/progressshape" >
        <clip>
            <shape 
                android:shape="rectangle" >
                <size android:height="5dp"/>
                <corners 
                    android:radius="5dp" />
                <solid android:color="@color/colorDekraYellow"/>        
            </shape>
        </clip>
    </item>
</layer-list>

shadow

res/drawable/border_shadow.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

        <shape> 
            <corners 
                android:radius="5dp" />
            <gradient
                android:angle="270"
                android:startColor="#33000000"
                android:centerColor="#11000000"
                android:endColor="#11000000"
                android:centerY="0.2"
                android:type="linear"
            />          
        </shape> 
    </item>
</layer-list>
