Align ProgressBar horizontal to top (remove gap) [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to put a horizontal progress bar at the top of my frame. But there seems to be padding that I simply have been unable to remove. Any help?

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"           android:layout_width="match_parent"           android:layout_height="match_parent"> <ProgressBar android:id="@+id/flv_progress_bar"              android:layout_width="fill_parent"              style="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ProgressBar.Horizontal"              android:indeterminateOnly="true"              android:layout_height="wrap_content"              android:layout_gravity="top"/> </FrameLayout> 

Answer 1

Pork'n'Bunny's answer worked API level 16 and up devices. This solution worked in all devices. Just push it by 6dp up in XML.

 <ProgressBar         android:id="@+id/progressbar_Horizontal"         style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:max="100"         android:layout_alignParentTop="true"         android:layout_marginTop="-6dp" /> 

Answer 2

from the looks of it, I think its caused by the image used in the default styling

style="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ProgressBar.Horizontal" 

(the image I'm referring to is this one: @android:drawable/progress_indeterminate_horizontal_holo and @android:drawable/progress_horizontal_holo_dark )

These images have a lot of canvas background; therefore its showing this gap.

My recommendation:

use a custom image to style you PregressBar. One which doesn't have much canvas spacing.
