Interact slider widget on mobile device

[psychemedia]

Summary

Either switch to a mobile-friendly slider, or use something like http://touchpunch.furf.com/ to enable touch events on the current jqueryui slider

Original issue

I was trying to demo a simple notebook with interact widgets via Chrome on an Android device, and whilst the slider widget rendered and the slider bar could be highlighted, trying to slide it seemed to be interpreted by the browser as a swipe.

Which makes me wonder - is there a special theme for mobile devices, or would the actual widget handler code need tweaking to work on mobile browsers?

I'm about to switch the slider to a mobile friendly slider, probably
experimenting with it in the next week or so.

Indeed, the native browser slider should work on mobile devices.

Hello everyone, is there an easy fix for this issue yet? I don't understand how to "switch to a mobile-friendly slider" like mentioned in the summary or how to "enable touch events on the current jqueryui slider". Also, I don't understand the ipywidgets code well enough to try to fix it myself. The URL http://touchpunch.furf.com/ isn't working, either. In other words, I am completely stuck here. Any support on this would be greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,
Dominik

The slider implementation should change a lot in the next release, it's not relying on the jQueryUI slider anymore but on https://refreshless.com/nouislider, it seems to work on my mobile phone using a Chromium-based browser.

I guess it's safe to close this issue. We can reopen it later if it actually don't work in the next release.

Thank you. Where can I check when the next release is planned for?
