The following describes the SeekBarPreference control. The saved Value is a numeric Value. You can directly use the preferences. xml file without additional code.

The following figure shows the standard Android attributes used by the control.

• Android: dialogMessageShow text in the dialog box
• Android: textText information displayed after the progress bar is selected

The following is an example of XML layout.

 <com.hlidskialf.android.preference.SeekBarPreference android:key="duration"
        android:title="Duration of something"
        android:summary="How long something will last"
        android:dialogMessage="Something duration"
        android:defaultValue="5"
        android:text=" minutes"
        android:max="60"
/>
