Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing an adaptive seek bar, for use with a displayed user interface of an electronic device, for example a tablet computer, smartphone, or wearable mobile device, that can be used as a media device for playing of music, video, or other forms of media content. A media application is configured to display a seek bar that is adaptable to the shape of a parent user interface, for example by being displayed along the perimeter of the parent user interface. The adaptive seek bar can be associated with a greater usable length, and occupy less central space than other types of seek bar. User interaction with the seek bar can be used to access or otherwise control the playing of media content that is stored locally at the electronic device, or is streamed from a media server.
