The Slider is a great UI element to enable users easily select a value from a fixed range of values.

Getting Started

To set up a slider, you'll have to first define the minimum and maximum values, the initial value and the incremental steps of the slider

We recommend using a Label with the Slider so that users can get immediate feedback on the value she or he is setting

Style the Slider

• Minimum Track Tint Color: Color of the slider track to the left of the thumb

• Maximum Track Tint Color: Color of the slider track to the right of the thumb

• Thumb Tint Color (Android only): Color of the thumb

• Border:

  • Width: Enter how wide you want the border outline of the Slider to be

  • Color: Pick a color for the border of the Slider

  • Style: Select if you want the border to be a dotted, dashed or solid line

  • Radius: Enter how round you want the edges of the border for the Slider to be

Edit the Slider size

You can set how tall the Slider is using the height property and set how wide it is using the width property.

Height

• Fill container - The Slider fills the entire screen vertically

• Fit contents - The Slider’s height changes to fit the contents it contains

• Relative size - The Slider fills the specified percentage of the screen

• Absolute size - Sizes the Slider to a specified number of pixels

Width

• Fill container - The Slider fills the entire screen horizontally

• Fit contents - The Slider’s width changes to fit the contents it contains

• Relative size - The Slider fills the specified percentage of the screen

• Absolute - Sizes the Slider to a specified number of pixels

Add spacing

You change the spacing and positioning of the Slider with the Margin and Padding properties.

Margin

• You can specify how much space you want between the border and the contents of Slider using either pixel or percent values.

Padding

• You can specify how much space you want between the edges of the Slider and the screen using either pixel or percent values.
