Android SeekBar thumb gets clipped/cut off

When using a custom thumb drawable with a SeekBar view, the thumb drawable is clipped at the left and right edges of the view.

How can I fix this behavior?

You should be able to fix this by setting paddingLeft and paddingRight on your SeekBar to half the thumb width (remember to use density-independent units). You can also control the space allowed at the edges for a seek bar's thumb by calling setThumbOffset.

I ran into this issue myself, and I believe the "correct" decision would be to modify android:thumbOffset as the default style for a SeekBar sets it to 8px.

For default SeekBar I used these settings and it works fine:

android:paddingLeft="6dp"
android:paddingRight="6dp"

android:thumbOffset="8dp"
