More exact use of the Slider
On smaller screens or sliders, it is not easy to pinpoint a slider value. You may say that it is not meant for that. However, I would argue that it could well be used for that with a modification. Here is an example:
Before:
- Slide the slider to where you want to be. The feedback may show a number like '50'.
- Lift your finger. The feedback now changes to '49' or anything but '50'.
- Result: :-(
After the mod:
- Slide the slider to where you want to be. The feedback may show a number like '50'.
- Keep your finger in place for half a sec, the slider briefly flashes (ore some other visual feedback), and the value is frozen for a second or so, allowing your finger to be lifted without disturbing the value.
- Result: :-)
I wish the same would work for Android sliders as well, but that's a different forum ;-).
