Custom Volume bar using seek bar in android.

Hello Friends,

Today i am going to post Custom Volume bar using seek bar in android. With this functionality we can set volume of any sound and video.

       import android.app.Activity;
       import android.content.Context;
       import android.media.AudioManager;
       import android.os.Bundle;
       import android.view.KeyEvent;
       import android.widget.SeekBar;
       import android.widget.SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener;

       public class VolumeActivity extends Activity
       {

              //a variable to store the seek bar from the XML file
              private SeekBar volumeBar;

              //an AudioManager object, to change the volume settings
              private AudioManager amanager;

              /** Called when the activity is first created. */
              @Override
              public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
              {
                     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                     setContentView(R.layout.main);

                     //get the seek bar from main.xml file
                     volumeBar = (SeekBar) findViewById(R.id.sb_volumebar);

                     //get the audio manager
                     amanager = (AudioManager) this.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
 volumeBar.setMax(amanager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC));
                     //set the seek bar progress to 1
                     volumeBar.setKeyProgressIncrement(1); 
                     //sets the progress of the seek bar based on the system's volume                     volumeBar.setProgress(amanager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC)); 
               //register OnSeekBarChangeListener, so that the seek bar can change the volume
                     volumeBar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new OnSeekBarChangeListener()
                     {
                           @Override
                           public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar)
                           {}

                           @Override
                           public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar)
                           {}

                           @Override
                           public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress, boolean fromUser)
                           {
             //change the volume, displaying a toast message containing the current volume and playing a feedback sound
                         amanager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,progress, 0);
                           }
                     });
              }

              @Override
              public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
              {
                     //if one of the volume keys were pressed
              if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN || keyCode ==   KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP)
                     {
                           //change the seek bar progress indicator position                           volumeBar.setProgress(amanager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC));
                     }
                     //propagate the key event
                     return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
              }
       }


I will be happy if you will provide your feedback or follow this blog. Any suggestion and help will be appreciated.

Thank you :)
