Discrete SeekBar

I am trying to create a discrete seek bar for an Android app.

Example

I know I can set max and min values for a SeekBar (my ideal solution would be the Click example below) but I want the bar to move up and down the slider at particular intervals - every 10 in my case. So the only options available on the SeekBar would be;

  • 20
  • 30
  • 40
  • 50
  • 60
  • 70

Is it possible to define specific values to a standard Android SeekBar or at least change the intervals between items. If not, then would it be possible with a custom seekbar? I have not found anything online which addresses this (not for Android at least - frustrating as its a recognised component in the Google Material design guidelines).

Check this link If you want to implement discrete seekbar with number of gaps without using third party library then use style property of seekbar.

<SeekBar
     android:id="@+id/sb"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:max="10"
     android:thumb="@drawable/ic_location"
     android:theme="@style/Widget.AppCompat.SeekBar.Discrete" />
