Seek Bar Increase Height

Question

I am working with a SeekBar that works perfectly fine. But I want to increase the height of the Progress bar, as the native height is not as high.

So how can I change the height of the progress bar, either dynamically or through XML?

Answer 1

You have to add some padding for all directions and also set the min and max height of the SeekBar.

Here is one example that I used:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <SeekBar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:progressDrawable="@drawable/custom_player_seekbar_background"
            android:paddingTop="10dp" 
            android:paddingBottom="10dp" 
            android:thumb="@drawable/bt_do_player" 
            android:paddingLeft="30dp" 
            android:paddingRight="30dp" 
            android:minHeight="6dp"
            android:maxHeight="6dp" 
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"/>
