Richmond.

Smooth and compact.

But the OP wanted a scrollBar, not a progressBar. I assume the scrollbar is operated under mouse control.

@Samuele. Is that so?

Hi Craig,

no, Samuele changed his mind in the middle of this thread:

no, Samuele changed his mind in the middle of this thread:

All true, alas.

I still made a do-it-yourself scrollbar, just to see how it plays out. It was easy to get 90%. Not sure it is worth it anymore to get 100. There are glitches at the extreme ends. Likely the "mouseMove" message is just too ubiquitous.

is there something for android mobile?
Thanks!

As others have suggested, you can roll your own. Some ideas might present themselves by having look at ScrollBarOmatic and RadialDialOmatic available in Sample Stacks.

Cheers,

Sure, take a look here: https://developer.android.com/design

As you can see from Richmonds example stack, you basically change the width of any object
(image/button/graphic/even a field etc.) you use as the "progress bar" according to the current "progress".

What difference is there between the progress bar
I ran up (extremely quickly because it is extremely simple)
and one for Android?

I see no great difference between milking a cow
and milking a goat, and learning how to milk a
cow should provide you with a transferrable skill.

This makes me think of children who come to my
EFL school and are either unable or not prepared to
make an effort to reason by analogy, but just want to
be spoon-fed prepackaged answers. I generally ask
them to leave after a while.

And here is an animated image of an Android Material progress bar, you want the first one:

You can use Richmond's example but make it out of two rounded graphics and keep the height small as per the Material Design specs. Google says 4 pixels high though you may want it a little taller than that, but don't make it too much taller or it won't look like Android.

This page is useful for specifications and usage:

Here's a portable version of the MacOS 12 progress bar for people
who cannot manage to make one themselves:

This is the sort of exercise I expect the 9-12 year olds who come to my programming classes
every July to manage by the end of week 1 (about 7 hours of instruction).

Personally this one is my all-time favourites, which
will involve coding that is almost exactly the reverse of my examples
above:

A 2 minute exercise with a search engine will give you lots:

ALL you now have to do is slice one of those images up into component parts
and use my example stacks to make your own.
