Your request is certainly an interesting one. Indeed, I had been thinking about something like this as I thought it would be pretty neat for AM to switch to PM as you went full-circle with the hour slider.
However, there are definitely some challenges in implementing something like this. For example, it is currently possible to drag the slider to the 7 o'clock position, and then take your finger off and slide from 1 o'clock to 2 o'clock. In this case, it would be very difficult to discern whether the user wanted to go from 7 -> 8 -> 9 -> 10 -> 11 -> 12 -> 1 -> 2 or 7 -> 6 -> 5 -> 3 -> 2.
That said, as a "user" of this control, you could implement all of this functionality in the selector you have passed in to the [slider addTarget:self action:@selector(selector:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged] method.
I love your circular slider! Just a few days and it has already gathered many likes.
Would like to know if it is possible to have a circular slider like the one used in clock to have it used with 999 values. However, the most chosen values are 1-20 so if that is the case, the slider will usually remain in less than the first quarter of the circle.
I was thinking of a circular slider that utilizes degree as a reference, for example, 1-30 belongs to 360 degree. When I slide around within the 360 degree (1 circle), I will be able to choose only 1-30. Continuing the degree toward 720 degree will get me values of the range 30-60 or if there is momentum, the values will be higher and goes straight to 999 when I slide within 3 rounds. This would be fun for the users.
I wonder if this is doable in the current version, if so, how do I proceed? @gissues:{"order":50,"status":"inprogress"}
