How to create an iPod-esque UISlider

Question

Does anyone have a quick way to make a UISlider that looks like the ones in the iPod app (think scrubber/volume control). Basically I need something that looks exactly like an MPVolumeView, but doesn't control sound. Failing that, does anyone have the assets to make one (the knob/track).

Answer 1

You should be able to approximate the appearance you want (wouldn't guarantee exact likeness) by using

setThumbImage:forState:
setMinimumTrackImage:forState:
setMaximumTrackImage:forState:

on UISlider. (It's also not very hard to create your own slider, by subclassing UIControl.)

Answer 2

Yeah, I knew how to create the custom slider, I just wanted to know if anyone had the images already. I guess not, so I extracted my own.

For future reference, if anyone else needs to do this:

Download those images, and use this code to set it all up:

scrubberSlider.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];  
UIImage *stetchLeftTrack = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"blueTrack.png"]
       stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:9.0 topCapHeight:0.0];
UIImage *stetchRightTrack = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"whiteTrack.png"]
        stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:9.0 topCapHeight:0.0];
[scrubberSlider setThumbImage: [UIImage imageNamed:@"whiteSlide.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[scrubberSlider setMinimumTrackImage:stetchLeftTrack forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[scrubberSlider setMaximumTrackImage:stetchRightTrack forState:UIControlStateNormal];
