What gets called when a UISlider value changes?

People also ask

What is UISlider?

A UISlider is a control that allows the user to select a value from a range of values horizontally by dragging the thumb to the position desired. Some use cases where a UISlider is used: Changing the Volume. Changing the Brightness. Changing the current seek of the Video.

Can you set the current value of the slider beyond the range min max?

If you try to programmatically set a slider's current value to be below the minimum or above the maximum, it's set to the minimum or maximum instead. However, if you set the value beyond the range of the minimum or maximum in Interface Builder, the minimum or minimum values are updated instead.


In IB, you can hook up an IBAction to the Value Changed event or in code add target/action for UIControlEventValueChanged. For example:

[mySlider addTarget:self action:@selector(sliderValueChanged:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];

- (IBAction)sliderValueChanged:(UISlider *)sender {
    NSLog(@"slider value = %f", sender.value);
}

Note that if you want the value change events as the user is sliding, then be sure that the slider's continuous property is also set. On the other hand, if you don't want the event to fire as the user is sliding and only when they finish sliding, set continuous to NO (or uncheck in IB).


For Swift 3

//There is your slider
@IBOutlet weak var mSlider: UISlider!

//add a target on your slider on your viewDidLoad for example
self.mSlider.addTarget(self, action: #selector(MyClass.onLuminosityChange), for: UIControlEvents.valueChanged)

//callback called when value change
func onLuminosityChange(){
    let value = self.mSlider.value
}
