I'm trying to create a thin, blue progress bar, similar to this:
I'm not that good with Drawables
, but what I have changes the ProgressBar
to green, but I'm not sure how to make it thin and blue:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<ProgressBar
android:id="@+id/ProgressBar"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:progressDrawable="@drawable/progress"
style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
android:visibility="gone"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Drawable
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@android:id/background">
<shape>
<corners android:radius="5dip" />
<gradient
android:startColor="#ff9d9e9d"
android:centerColor="#ff5a5d5a"
android:centerY="0.75"
android:endColor="#ff747674"
android:angle="270"
/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:id="@android:id/secondaryProgress">
<clip>
<shape>
<corners android:radius="5dip" />
<gradient
android:startColor="#80ffd300"
android:centerColor="#80ffb600"
android:centerY="0.75"
android:endColor="#a0ffcb00"
android:angle="270"
/>
</shape>
</clip>
</item>
<item
android:id="@android:id/progress"
>
<clip>
<shape>
<corners
android:radius="5dip" />
<gradient
android:startColor="#33FF33"
android:endColor="#008000"
android:angle="270" />
</shape>
</clip>
</item>
</layer-list>
There are 2 types of progress bars: determinate and indeterminate. The former is used when the amount of information that needs to be loaded is detectable. The latter is used when the system is unsure how much needs to be loaded or how long it will take.
The height is defined by the android:layout_height="wrap_content
attribute. You could set it to 2dp for example, to create a thinner progress bar.
Changing your color will be a bit more difficult, since you are using gradients. So you'll have to change your start & end color to some kind of blue.
What I am using
<ProgressBar
android:id="@+id/progressbar"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="4dp"
android:layout_marginTop="0.01dp"
android:max="100"
android:progress="50"
android:progressDrawable="@drawable/myprogressbar"
android:secondaryProgress="0" />
MyProgressBar.xml in the drawable folder
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@android:id/background">
<shape>
<corners android:radius="0dip" />
<gradient android:startColor="#C0C0C0" android:centerColor="#F8F8FF"
android:centerY="0.75" android:endColor="#ffffff" android:angle="90" />
<stroke android:width="0.01dp" android:color="#6B8E23" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:id="@android:id/progress">
<clip>
<shape>
<corners android:radius="0dip" />
<gradient android:startColor="#9ACD32" android:endColor="#FFFF00"
android:angle="90" />
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#6B8E23" />
</shape>
</clip>
</item>
</layer-list>
Replace the color codes with your own blue color codes:
android:startColor="#C0C0C0" android:centerColor="#F8F8FF" android:endColor="#ffffff"
