How to customize border width of ProgressBar

Question

I have a default progress bar

For me it's very large border. How can I make a progress bar like this (with thin border)?

I have a simple layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">


    <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/hello_progress_bar"
        android:layout_width="210dp"
        android:layout_height="210dp"

        android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Answer 1

1. Create a file with shape drawable for your progress

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:fromDegrees="0"
       android:pivotX="50%"
       android:pivotY="50%"
       android:toDegrees="360">
   
       <shape
           android:innerRadiusRatio="3"
           android:shape="ring"
           android:thicknessRatio="8"
           android:useLevel="false">
   
           <solid
                android:color="#F3A523"/>
   
        </shape>
   
   </rotate>
   

2. Use it inside your ProgressBar

    <ProgressBar
       android:id="@+id/progress_bar"
       android:layout_width="24dp"
       android:layout_height="24dp"
       android:indeterminate="true"
       android:progressDrawable="@drawable/progress_bar"
       android:indeterminateDrawable="@drawable/progress_bar"
     />
   

This way you can control width of your border via thicknessRatio property of the drawable

1> Create a Drawable for Ring Progressbar progressbar.xml and put into drawabal folder.

 <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <item android:id="@android:id/progress">
            <rotate android:toDegrees="360">
                <shape
                    android:shape="ring"
                    android:thickness="4dp"
                    android:innerRadiusRatio="3"
                    android:thicknessRatio="20.0">
                    <solid android:color="#FF4081" />
                </shape>
            </rotate>
        </item>
    </layer-list>

2> Set above Drawable into your progressbar

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        tools:context=".MainActivity">


        <ProgressBar
            android:id="@+id/hello_progress_bar"
            android:layout_width="200dp"
            android:layout_height="200dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
            android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
            android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
            android:progressDrawable="@drawable/progressbar"
            android:indeterminateDrawable="@drawable/progressbar"
             />

    </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Set below properties in drawable file

android:innerRadiusRatio="3"
android:thicknessRatio="20.0

Hope this may help you
