Hi,

These is easy way to use seekbar to move upto some specific postion with below code  
//Locating seekbar using resource id  
WebElement seek\_bar=driver.findElement(By.id(“seek\_bar”));  
// get start co-ordinate of seekbar  
int start=seek\_bar.getLocation().getX();  
//Get width of seekbar  
int end=seek\_bar.getSize().getWidth();  
//get location of seekbar vertically  
int y=seek\_bar.getLocation().getY();

```
    // Select till which position you want to move the seekbar
    TouchAction action=new TouchAction(driver);

   
    //Move it 40%
    int moveTo=(int)(end*0.4);
    action.press(start,y).moveTo(moveTo,y).release().perform();

```
