Hello, @Xispitojm are you looking for this one,

Spinner Setup

The spinner component is an odd thing, and requires some rigour to get control of it. This is how I usually setup a spinner so that all the selections are available every time. I use a button to set the selection and call the spinner dropdown, and "hide" the spinner by setting its height and width to 1 pixel each. If placed inside a centred horizontal arrangement, the spinner should be invisible in all themes. By adding a "Close Menu" selection (it can be called what ever you want) at the fir…

A button to spin between options.

Instead of using a button you can use a clickable label with the help of

LabelPlus - Additional methods for the Label component

Blocks: - These blocks set and return whether the entire label is clickable. clickable - true - label is clickable, false - no clickable, feedback - determines whether the click should be felt in the form of vibration or sound depending on the phone settings, [blocks (86)] [blocks - 2021-05-30T195137.952] - This block sets the label text range as a clickable link. hideLink - the text that will be returned to the Click event, if this text is empty, the method will return the click…

and rotate label

[RamNaresh]

Do you want slider button to be rotated

Vertical Slider?

Ken's Slider Tools Extension provides a vertical slider based upon the standard horizontal slider

Is it?

[ChrisWard]

You would either need to use the Rotate Component extension, or draw your own Slider using a Canvas and Sprite.

You don't have to rotate a Button, you can define the shape as required and if it needs to have a text label, that can be done with an image.

Edit: Actually, the best solution looks to be Juan Antonio's extension, as suggested by Patryk.

Extension. Slider Vertical. Slider with two ranges [Free]

@RamNaresh

Yes

[RamNaresh]

Do you need slider to be vertical or it to be rotated to some specific angle.

I think it can be your solution

i want it to be vertical

[RamNaresh]

Ok, then you can go for it.

Vertical Slider?

Maybe you can get some idea from this

It would be great, if you search fourm which is already full of solutions to try/experiment with them.

Since there are two things, 1. one is slider which is used to scroll screen left-right or to scroll down or up. 2. Slider button for yes or no answer.

What you are talking about?

You can provide some screen or even some hand drawn scratch of your requirements.
Thanks

[Xispitojm]

I would like a slide where i scroll up and down

[nishyanthkumar]

You could try this: MakeViewUp Extension: beautify & customize android views - Extensions - MIT App Inventor Community

You can use the .rotate function to rotate the slider, but you'll still have to code it in such a way as if it's still horizontal.

Then use this

Extension. Slider Vertical. Slider with two ranges [Free]
