I have built a custom slider and have been using GestureDetector
with onHorizontalDragUpdate
to report drag changes, update the UI and value
.
However, when a user lifts their finger, there can sometimes be a small, unintentional hop/drag, enough to adjust the value on the slider and reduce accuracy. How can I stop this occuring?
I have considered adding a small delay to prevent updates if the drag hasn't moved for a tiny period and assessing the primaryDelta
, but unsure if this would be fit for purpose or of there is a more routine common practive to prevent this.

Example of existing drag logic I am using. The initial drag data is from onHorizontalDragUpdate
in _buildThumb
. When the slider is rebuilt, the track size and thumb position is calculated in the LayoutBuilder
and then the value is calculated based on the thumb position.
double valueForPosition({required double min, required double max}) {
double posIncrements = ((max) / (_divisions));
double posIncrement = (_thumbPosX / (posIncrements));
double incrementVal =
(increment) * (posIncrement + widget.minimumValue).round() +
(widget.minimumValue - widget.minimumValue.truncate());
return incrementVal.clamp(widget.minimumValue, widget.maximumValue);
}
double thumbPositionForValue({required double min, required double max}) {
return (max / (widget.maximumValue - widget.minimumValue - 1)) *
(value - widget.minimumValue - 1);
}
double trackWidthForValue({
required double min,
required double max,
required double thumbPosition,
}) {
return (thumbPosition + (_thumbTouchZoneWidth / 2))
.clamp(min, max)
.toDouble();
}
bool isDragging = false;
bool isSnapping = false;
Widget _buildSlider() {
return SizedBox(
height: _contentHeight,
child: LayoutBuilder(
builder: (context, constraints) {
double minThumbPosX = -(_thumbTouchZoneWidth - _thumbWidth) / 2;
double maxThumbPosX =
constraints.maxWidth - (_thumbTouchZoneWidth / 2);
if (isDragging) {
_thumbPosX = _thumbPosX.clamp(minThumbPosX, maxThumbPosX);
value = valueForPosition(min: minThumbPosX, max: maxThumbPosX);
WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((timeStamp) {
widget.onChanged(value);
});
} else {
_thumbPosX = thumbPositionForValue(
min: minThumbPosX,
max: maxThumbPosX,
);
}
double minTrackWidth = 0;
double maxTrackWidth = constraints.maxWidth;
double trackWidth = 0;
if (isDragging) {
trackWidth = (_thumbPosX + (_thumbTouchZoneWidth / 2))
.clamp(_thumbWidth, constraints.maxWidth);
} else {
trackWidth = trackWidthForValue(
min: minTrackWidth,
max: maxTrackWidth,
thumbPosition: _thumbPosX,
);
}
return Stack(
alignment: Alignment.centerLeft,
clipBehavior: Clip.none,
children: [
_buildLabels(),
_buildInactiveTrack(),
Positioned(
width: trackWidth,
child: _buildActiveTrack(),
),
Positioned(
left: _thumbPosX,
child: _buildThumb(),
),
],
);
},
),
);
}
Widget _buildThumb() {
return GestureDetector(
behavior: HitTestBehavior.opaque,
dragStartBehavior: DragStartBehavior.down,
onHorizontalDragUpdate: (details) {
setState(() {
_thumbPosX += details.delta.dx;
isDragging = true;
});
},
child: // Thumb UI
);
}
Updated : I make a little adjustment by adding a delay state and lastChangedTime.
I follow your train of thought and make a simple example from Slider widget.
Is the result act like your expected? (You can adjust the Duration to any number)
