How do I set an Android ProgressBar's Size programmatically?

Question

I have a custom view that extends ViewGroup. It includes a ProgressBar and a WebView. I'm displaying the ProgressBar while the WebView is loading.

This works, but the ProgressBar is too big. How do I make it smaller?

Below is my non-working code:

webView = new WebView(context);
webView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebChromeClient());
webView.loadUrl("file://" + path);
addView(webView);

progressBar = new ProgressBar(mContext, null,
                                         android.R.attr.progressBarStyleSmall);
LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                                                    LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
progressBar.setLayoutParams(params);

addView(progressBar);

Answer 1

You can use LayoutParams to change width and height to whatever you want.

ProgressBar progressBar = new ProgressBar(teste.this, null, android.R.attr.progressBarStyleHorizontal);

            LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(300, 10);

            progressBar.setLayoutParams(params );
            LinearLayout test = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());
            test.addView(progressBar);
            setContentView(test);

Also when you add a view, you can use this code: test.addView(progressBar,50,50); where the first parameter is width and the second is height.

You can also set the size of your progressbar from within the xml, just use android:maxHeight, android:minHeight, android:minWidth and android:maxWidth properties inside your ProgressBar tag.

for instance, this will set the height of the progressbar to 35dip and width to 10dip,

   <ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progressBar1"
    style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_marginLeft="60dip"
    android:maxHeight="35dip"
    android:minHeight="35dip"

    android:minWidth="10dip"
    android:maxWidth="10dip"

    android:visibility="visible" />
