I finally got the vertical seekbar sample working from
How can I get a working vertical SeekBar in Android?
(thanks for that Paul Tsupikoff)
But i now have a vertical linear layout with only the vertical seekbar implemented that looks
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<com.example.layouts.VerticalSeekbar
android:id="@+id/v_seekbar"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
Instead of drawing the vertical seekbar until the end of the screen it draw's it with no limit. maybe it's something in the working Vertical SeekBar class that is responsible for this behavior? ( How can I get a working vertical SeekBar in Android? ) Or is there something i'm missing?
Update: changing the layout_height to more than 40dip also makes it draw the vertical seekbar out of the screen with no limit
