Andriod drag button widget

[Android Central Question]

I'm making a calculator where the answer can be changed with a drag button (like the volume buttom) and when the user drags the button the answer increases or decreases in 5% increments until they reach either end of the bar. Does andriod studio have an option like this?

No idea. But you can use a plain slider and not change the value until it's changed by 5%, then show the change. You'll just have to maintain another variable as the slider is being moved - oldValue. And when you change to the new value, update oldValue to the current value. (I'd also keep valueAbove and valueBelow at that point for the 5% up and 5% down values.)

Hey thanks for your response! Are there any online examples of this?

I'm not a programmer by any means, but you have me curious on why you want this function on a calculator. Would you be willing to explain its use?
