How to add a progress bar slider with React Native?

Spread the love

To add a progress bar slider with React Native, we add the Slide component.

To use it, we write

import React, { Component } from 'react';

import { defaultString } from '../String/defaultStringValue';
import {
  View,
  Text,
  StyleSheet,
  Image,
  Slider,
  TouchableOpacity,
} from 'react-native';

function pad(n, width, z = 0) {
  n = n + '';
  return n.length >= width ? n : new Array(width - n.length + 1).join(z) + n;
}

const minutesAndSeconds = (position) => ([
  pad(Math.floor(position / 60), 2),
  pad(position % 60, 2),
]);

const SeekBar = ({
  trackLength,
  currentPosition,
  onSeek,
  onSlidingStart,
}) => {
  const elapsed = minutesAndSeconds(currentPosition);
  const remaining = minutesAndSeconds(trackLength - currentPosition);
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <View style={{ flexDirection: 'row' }}>
        <Text style={[styles.text, { color: defaultString.darkColor }]}>
          {elapsed[0] + ":" + elapsed[1]}
        </Text>
        <View style={{ flex: 1 }} />
        <Text style={[styles.text, { width: 40, color: defaultString.darkColor }]}>
          {trackLength > 1 && "-" + remaining[0] + ":" + remaining[1]}
        </Text>
      </View>
      <Slider
        maximumValue={Math.max(trackLength, 1, currentPosition + 1)}
        onSlidingStart={onSlidingStart}
        onSlidingComplete={onSeek}
        value={currentPosition}
        minimumTrackTintColor={defaultString.darkColor}
        maximumTrackTintColor={defaultString.lightGrayColor}
        thumbStyle={styles.thumb}
        trackStyle={styles.track}
      />
    </View>
  );
};

export default SeekBar;

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  slider: {
    marginTop: -12,
  },
  container: {
    paddingLeft: 16,
    paddingRight: 16,
    paddingTop: 16,
  },
  track: {
    height: 2,
    borderRadius: 1,
  },
  thumb: {
    width: 10,
    height: 10,
    borderRadius: 5,
    backgroundColor: defaultString.darkColor,
  },
  text: {
    color: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.72)',
    fontSize: 12,
    textAlign: 'center',
  }
});


to add the Slider component into our view.

We set the maximumValue of the slide.

And we set various functions for the onSlidingStart and onSlidingComplete event handlers.

We also set the track color with minimumTrackTintColor and maximumTrackTintColor.
