How to create a ProgressBar programmatically?
Most of the time if you provide an AttributeSet
manually you have to use one of Android's. Luckily, they've exposed the attribute set that describes a small progress bar. Use this code:
progressBar = new ProgressBar(activity, null, android.R.attr.progressBarStyleSmall);
Create a layout xml file in res/layout directory with desired progress bar containig all attributes you need:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ProgressBar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" ... />
Next in the Activity class you can create ProgressBar object from that layout:
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
ProgressBar bar = (ProgressBar ) inflater.inflate(R.layout.small_progress_bar, null);
where R.layout.small_progress_bar links to your layout xml file.
Can you still not use xml file?
