How can I get a working vertical SeekBar in Android?

I've implemented the commonly-pointed-to VerticalSeekBar post here. As it is, the SeekBar operates a little quirky. Here is my slightly adapted onTouchEvent() from that example:

public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event)
    {
            xPos = event.getX();
            yPos = event.getY();
            oOffset = this.getThumbOffset();
            oProgress = this.getProgress();

            //Code from example - Not working
            //this.setThumbOffset( progress * (this.getBottom()-this.getTop()) );

            this.setProgress((int)(29*yPos/this.getBottom()));
            return true;
    }

I've managed to implement one VerticalSeekBar in which the progress updates as expected and is fully-functional, but the thumb does not follow suit. This is only a graphical glitch, so I'm overlooking it for now. But, it would be nice to have that working. This SeekBar has max = 20.

However, I tried implementing another VerticalSeekBar with max = 1000. Obviously, it uses the same code, so you'd assume the same behavior. I'm only able to achieve a progress of 0~35, even as my finger slides beyond the SeekBar and eventually off the screen. If I just tap near the end of the progress bar (which should be progress ~ 900) it returns a progress of about 35 and the yellow progress bar reflects that value by staying near the top.

My question is: Does anyone have a link to a working vertical SeekBar, or know how to adapt this particular example?

Here is a working VerticalSeekBar implementation:

package android.widget;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.MotionEvent;

public class VerticalSeekBar extends SeekBar {

    public VerticalSeekBar(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public VerticalSeekBar(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    public VerticalSeekBar(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
        super.onSizeChanged(h, w, oldh, oldw);
    }

    @Override
    protected synchronized void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
        super.onMeasure(heightMeasureSpec, widthMeasureSpec);
        setMeasuredDimension(getMeasuredHeight(), getMeasuredWidth());
    }

    protected void onDraw(Canvas c) {
        c.rotate(-90);
        c.translate(-getHeight(), 0);

        super.onDraw(c);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        if (!isEnabled()) {
            return false;
        }

        switch (event.getAction()) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                setProgress(getMax() - (int) (getMax() * event.getY() / getHeight()));
                onSizeChanged(getWidth(), getHeight(), 0, 0);
                break;

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL:
                break;
        }
        return true;
    }
}

To implement it, create a new class in your project, choosing the right package:

There, paste the code and save it. Now use it in your XML layout:

<android.widget.VerticalSeekBar
  android:id="@+id/seekBar1"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="200dp"
  />

The code given in the accepted answer didn't intercept the onStartTrackingTouch and the onStopTrackingTouch events, so I've modified it to have more control over this two events.

Here is my code:

public class VerticalSeekBar extends SeekBar {

private OnSeekBarChangeListener myListener;
public VerticalSeekBar(Context context) {
    super(context);
}

public VerticalSeekBar(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}

public VerticalSeekBar(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
}

protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
    super.onSizeChanged(h, w, oldh, oldw);
}

@Override
protected synchronized void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
    super.onMeasure(heightMeasureSpec, widthMeasureSpec);
    setMeasuredDimension(getMeasuredHeight(), getMeasuredWidth());
}

@Override
public void setOnSeekBarChangeListener(OnSeekBarChangeListener mListener){
    this.myListener = mListener;
}

protected void onDraw(Canvas c) {
    c.rotate(-90);
    c.translate(-getHeight(), 0);

    super.onDraw(c);
}

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    if (!isEnabled()) {
        return false;
    }

    switch (event.getAction()) {
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            if(myListener!=null)
                myListener.onStartTrackingTouch(this);
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
            setProgress(getMax() - (int) (getMax() * event.getY() / getHeight()));
            onSizeChanged(getWidth(), getHeight(), 0, 0);
            myListener.onProgressChanged(this, getMax() - (int) (getMax() * event.getY() / getHeight()), true);
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            myListener.onStopTrackingTouch(this);
            break;

        case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL:
            break;
    }
    return true;
}
}

I had problems while using this code with setProgress method. To solve them I suggest overriding setProgress and adding onSizeChanged call to it.

I had problem while using this code with setProgress method. To solve them I suggest overriding setProgress and adding onSizeChanged call to it.Added code here ..

   private int x,y,z,w;
   protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
        super.onSizeChanged(h, w, oldh, oldw);
        this.x=w;
        this.y=h;
        this.z=oldw;
        this.w=oldh;
    }
        @Override
        public synchronized void setProgress(int progress) {

            super.setProgress(progress);

                onSizeChanged(x, y, z, w);

        }

selected hover actions are performed by adding the following code:

1.setPressed(true);setSelected(true);//Add this in ACTION_DOWN

2.setPressed(false);setSelected(false);//Add this in ACTION_UP

And Write code for selected hover options in ur xml.

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="true"
          android:state_window_focused="true"
          android:drawable="@drawable/thumb_h" />
    <item android:state_selected="true"
          android:state_window_focused="true"
          android:drawable="@drawable/thumb_h" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/thumb" />
</selector>

This is working for me...
