the working dependency currently apparently is this forked library
implementation 'com.github.stack07142:DiscreteSeekBar:1.0.1'
Here’s a detailed explanation of using this forked library
The provided dependency refers to a forked version of the original DiscreteSeekBar library hosted on a GitHub repository by a user (stack07142). A forked library is a copy of the original repository, modified or maintained separately, often to fix bugs, add new features, or maintain compatibility with updated tools.
What is Happening?
-
Forked Repository:
- The original DiscreteSeekBar library is no longer maintained, so the user stack07142 created a fork to address issues or provide updates.
- The fork has been updated to version
1.0.1, which may include fixes or compatibility improvements.
-
Integration via JitPack:
- JitPack is a service that allows GitHub-hosted libraries to be built and distributed as Maven/Gradle dependencies.
- The forked library is hosted on GitHub and distributed through JitPack.
We realised we really wanted to catch a glimpse of what went on behind the scenes of the companies we looked up to. And we thought other people would want to know too.
So we decided to organise an event to share these stories. Today, we run monthly Show & Tell events and an annual conference.
