RelativeLayout>  

Activity class

Let's see the Activity class displaying seek bar and performing event handling.

File: MainActivity.java

package com.example.seekbar;  
import android.os.Bundle;  
import android.app.Activity;  
import android.view.Menu;  
import android.widget.SeekBar;  
import android.widget.SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener;  
import android.widget.Toast;  
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnSeekBarChangeListener{  
    SeekBar seekBar1;  
    @Override  
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
        seekBar1=(SeekBar)findViewById(R.id.seekBar1);  
        seekBar1.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(this);  
    }  
    @Override  
    public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress,  
            boolean fromUser) {  
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"seekbar progress: "+progress, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();  
    }  
    @Override  
    public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {  
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"seekbar touch started!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();  
    }  
    @Override  
    public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {  
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"seekbar touch stopped!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();  
    }  
    @Override  
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {  
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.  
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);  
        return true;  
    }  
}
