I am trying to customize ProgressBar's design in Android. I know how to change the color of the ProgressBar and everything, but what I do not get is how can I create ProgressBar look like one of those old ones in windows.
This is the sketch:
So, basically my question is how should I customize my ProgressBar to achieve this result?
ProgressBar is a very customizable View, I suggest you look at the progressDrawable property.
You can have a look at this example and that can help you understand what you need to do:

I have seen this progress bar in apps but I don't know what it's called.
How do I set it up and change it intermediate colors.
Maybe the Swipe-to-Refresh is the one you're referring to.
More info at http://developer.android.com/training/swipe/add-swipe-interface.html
If you only want to change the color of the spinner and not the background, you can try -
progressBar.getIndeterminateDrawable().setColorFilter(
getResources().getColor(R.color.blue),
android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
Otherwise, to change the background as well, you need to customize your progressbar for this.
The tutorial here may help you.
Can anyone help me to make such ProgressBar as in Google Fit application? Like on image below:
Thank you!
You can review this library Progressbar with number and can customize background of progress bar from its property. Use nine-patch image to make it awesome.
Is that possible to have a custom ProgressBar in Android like this:
I mean:
Not spinning (static)
Progress with one color and remaining area with another color
With text in center
If that's not possible, what's the nearest result that I can have? Maybe using XML Shapes? Thanks!
There is not a standard Android component for reaching this result.
However, there is a library that you can use to achieve that effect.
Check this library.
You can customize this component as you like and use it on your xml layouts like a Custom View.
Check this library: https://github.com/wasabeef/awesome-android-ui/blob/master/pages/Progress.md. It does what you want.
Now I have this task where I should create a rating bar just like youtube in my app , and so my idea was to have a textview where I set its background to a color but then remove the color according to an equation I will make so it displays only a percentage of it... any idea how can I do this or where to look ?
The simplest way to do this would be to create a selector.xml. You would assign android:background="#drawable/selector". Your selector would decide which background color to show based on what percentage you have assigned.
This link explains how to use selectors with buttons. It should help to get you on the right track...http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/color-list-resource.html
EDIT: You can still accomplish a custom progress bar by xml. It is very similar to the selector. Just think of it as many more selectors based on progress instead of state. Here is a nice example...Custom Drawable for ProgressBar/ProgressDialog
You can also look into xml animations. They are similar.
I need to customize the ProgressDialog, need to change message color, animated image and dialog-background color. Can anybody help me on this. I am new to android.
How to change the animated image displayed inside the ProgressDialog, where I need to made changes for this? I saw that such APIs are not there in ProgressDialog class.
Thanks & Regards.
