How can I achieve that the TextView shows the current progress of the SeekBar without putting it in the SeekBar method?

Question

...
public SeekBar sb;
public TextView tv;
int sbvalue;
...
tv = (TextView) findViewById (R.id.textView);
sb = ...
...
sb.setOnSeekBarChangeListener (new SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener () {
@Override
public void onProgressChanged (seekBar, int progress, boolean fromUser) {
sbvalue = sb.getProgress ();
}
@Override
public void onStartTrackingTouch(...){...}
...
}
tv. setText(Integer.toString (sbvalue));
...
//the TextView just shows 0
//"..." means that I left out parts of the code

Answer 1

Is there a reason you don't want to update it in the seekbar listener?

Answer 2

Yes because in my app I have 3 SeekBars and I want to calculate things with the progress of those three, not just show the progress in a TextView. So if I would do that in the SeekBar listener of one of the SeekBars I think I just would have the current progress of this SeekBar and in addition and couldn't return any value from my calculation.
