public class Slider extends Label implements ActionSource

The slider component serves both as a slider widget to allow users to select a value on a scale via touch/arrows and also to indicate progress. The slider defaults to percentage display but can represent any positive set of values.

`Slider` is very versatile and can be used to represent things as diverse as the 5 star ranking UI demonstrated below. Notice that for the UI to work correctly you need to enclose it in a layout that preserves its preferred size like flow layout.

    public void showForm() {
      Form hi = new Form("Star Slider", new BoxLayout(BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
      hi.add(FlowLayout.encloseCenter(createStarRankSlider()));
      hi.show();
    }

    private void initStarRankStyle(Style s, Image star) {
        s.setBackgroundType(Style.BACKGROUND_IMAGE_TILE_BOTH);
        s.setBorder(Border.createEmpty());
        s.setBgImage(star);
        s.setBgTransparency(0);
    }

    private Slider createStarRankSlider() {
        Slider starRank = new Slider();
        starRank.setEditable(true);
        starRank.setMinValue(0);
        starRank.setMaxValue(10);
        Font fnt = Font.createTrueTypeFont("native:mainLight", "native:mainLight").
                derive(Display.getInstance().convertToPixels(5, true), Font.STYLE_PLAIN);
        Style s = new Style(0xffff33, 0, fnt, (byte)0);
        Image fullStar = FontImage.createMaterial(FontImage.MATERIAL_STAR, s).toImage();
        s.setOpacity(100);
        s.setFgColor(0);
        Image emptyStar = FontImage.createMaterial(FontImage.MATERIAL_STAR, s).toImage();
        initStarRankStyle(starRank.getSliderEmptySelectedStyle(), emptyStar);
        initStarRankStyle(starRank.getSliderEmptyUnselectedStyle(), emptyStar);
        initStarRankStyle(starRank.getSliderFullSelectedStyle(), fullStar);
        initStarRankStyle(starRank.getSliderFullUnselectedStyle(), fullStar);
        starRank.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(fullStar.getWidth() * 5, fullStar.getHeight()));
        return starRank;
    }

Slider can be used as a progress indicator for network operations when combined with the `com.codename1.components.SliderBridge` component:

    Form hi = new Form("Download Progress", new BorderLayout());
    Slider progress = new Slider();
    Button download = new Button("Download");
    download.addActionListener((e) -> {
        ConnectionRequest cr = new ConnectionRequest("https://www.codenameone.com/img/blog/new_icon.png", false);
        SliderBridge.bindProgress(cr, progress);
        NetworkManager.getInstance().addToQueueAndWait(cr);
        if(cr.getResponseCode() == 200) {
            hi.add(BorderLayout.CENTER, new ScaleImageLabel(EncodedImage.create(cr.getResponseData())));
            hi.revalidate();
        }
    });
    hi.add(BorderLayout.SOUTH, progress).add(BorderLayout.NORTH, download);
    hi.show();
