There is no "standard" ratings widget (and I'd advise you submit a bugreport requesting one if you haven't done so already) nor is there a good work-around for fixing the slider since some would argue that it isn't actually broken (one common complaint in the past was that accidentally touching the slider outside the button would cause it to move). You could do something wherein a ratings "view" displays the same values as the slider though it is admittedly a hack. It is, of course, possible to create your own ratings widget by subclassing UIControl and tracking the touches. The Oracle also found this which may be of some use - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/292137/anyone-know-whether-there-is-a-5-star-rating-component-on-iphone

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone has a work around for the change in behavior between iPhone OS 2.1 and 2.2 UISlider element?

Previously I was able to click anywhere on the slider and it would update, now you have to grab the knob to adjust the value. This has broken the functionality in my app as I was using it for providing a 'rating' widget.

It's odd as it works correctly on the Simulator, the difference in functionality is only visible when testing on the device it self.

Is there another option for a 'rating' widget, ie. the used can click 5 stars if they really like something?

Thanks.
