SeekBar : Change Tick color

Question

I am using Discrete seekbar. I want to change the color of inactive tick marks.

Here's my SeekBar

<SeekBar
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:max="10"
    android:progress="7" />

What have I tried so far?

• Applied custom style that extends Widget.AppCompat.SeekBar.Discrete and tried applying colorControl*
• Applied android:tickMark with different states state_focused=false, state_activated=false , but I think it applies to all tick marks.

Question?

How can I set color of the SeekBar 's tick marks for the inactive portion of the track?

Note

I am aware about the MaterialComponent 's Slider . My requirement is to make it possible with SeekBar .

Answer 1

You could set android:tickMark drawable, but I don't think it supports state list for each of the ticksmark. As you mentioned Material Slider has tickColorActive & tickColorInactive attrs. If implementing the behavior with the traditional seek bar is a must, You may need to play with onDraw method of the same.
