The Slider and Android

[grahamk]

The slider in HAD really doesn't work well with an android touch screen.

 

I'm curious if anyone has found a way to make it work better, or toyed with replacing it with one that works better for touchscreens....

 

Thanks,

Graham

Hello Graham,

 

If you click anywhere on a slider, that should bring the slider to that position. That works on Android. If you are looking to touch-move-release, the jQuery UI slider that HAD uses does not support that. 

 

Are you looking to modify your custom HAD, or a fix to the firmware or portal version of HAD?

 

I'm aware of frameworks that can work around that jQueryUI limitation. You can look at touch punch: http://touchpunch.furf.com/

Alternatively, I read about another slider that does it well: http://refreshless.com/nouislider/

Hmm. Played with it some more and it appears that "clicking" on a slider does not appear to work for me on my S5 unless it has not been zoomed in, which makes it very small.  I am using the chrome browser  - would you happen to know if others might work better?

 

If i make any changes it would be to my own installation.

 

Thanks for all your hard work on this.

It seems that the sliders work perfectly with firefox.
