# Slider

Sliders allow users to make selections from a range of values.

## Design

[Material Design: Slider](https://material.io/go/design-sliders)

## Continuous slider

Continuous sliders allow users to make meaningful selections that don’t require
a specific value.

## Discrete slider

Discrete sliders display a numeric value label upon pressing the thumb, which
allows a user to input an exact value.

## Demo

The slider is under active development. You can see the current version of
the
[Slider Demo](https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/tree/master/catalog/java/io/material/catalog/slider/)
in the Material Android Catalog.

## Code

The
[Slider Package](https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/tree/master/lib/java/com/google/android/material/slider)
contains the code for this component.
