Android SeekBar is the extension of ProgressBar. SeekBar allows the user to change the value using touch event/draggable thumb/left right arrow keys. The user can increase the value by dragging the thumb right   or by pressing the right arrow key. Similarly the user can decrease the value by dragging the thumb left or by pressing the left arrow key.
