Change android seekbar value without clicking direclty on the seekbar thumb

Question

I have an android seekbar that appears on the screen when a user touches a button.

How can I start tracking user touch to move the seekbar immediately after it appears?

To be more clear, essentially I want the user to be able to move the seekbar thumb/progress without clicking directly on it.

Answer 1

Seekbar extends ProgressBar, so just call setProgress on your SeekBar to update it.

See this for reference.
