        SeekBar
            A SeekBar is an extension of ProgressBar that adds a draggable thumb. The user can touch
            the thumb and drag left or right to set the current progress level or use the arrow keys.
            Placing focusable widgets to the left or right of a SeekBar is discouraged.

            Clients of the SeekBar can attach a SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener to be notified
            of the user's actions.

                A callback that notifies clients when the progress level has been changed. This
                includes changes that were initiated by the user through a touch gesture or arrow
                key/trackball as well as changes that were initiated programmatically.

                    Notification that the progress level has changed. Clients can use the fromUser
                    parameter to distinguish user-initiated changes from those that
                    occurred programmatically.

                Parameters
                    seekBar : The SeekBar whose progress has changed
                    progress : The current progress level. This will be in the range 0..max where
                        max was set by setMax(int). (The default value for max is 100.)
                    fromUser : True if the progress change was initiated by the user.

                    Notification that the user has started a touch gesture. Clients may want to use
                    this to disable advancing the SeekBar.

                    seekBar : The SeekBar in which the touch gesture began
