Remove vertical padding from horizontal ProgressBar - android

By default the ProgressBar has a certain padding above and below the bar itself. Is there a way to remove this padding so as to only have the bar in the end?

I use the following as a workaround for this issue.
android:layout_marginBottom="-8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="-4dp"

This is how I used Juozas's answer:
height of my ProgressBar is 4dp. So I created a FrameLayout with height 4dp and set the layout_gravity of ProgressBar to center. It's works like a charm.
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="4dp">
<ProgressBar
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="4dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:indeterminate="true" />
</FrameLayout>
Note: What a FrameLayout does is it clips away anything excess, so if you face the problem where the ProgressBar is still thin, just set the layout_height of the ProgressBar to some large number like 100dp. It'll fully cover the FrameLayout and will only show 4dp of it.

If someone still needs help can try this:
<androidx.core.widget.ContentLoadingProgressBar
android:id="#+id/progress"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
style="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#+id/guideline"
android:indeterminate="true"
android:visibility="visible"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/guideline" />
Here, the progress bar is inside the ConstraintLayout, and the constraintTop_toTopOf and constraintBottom_toTopOf attributes must be applied to the same element (in this case, it is guideline).
*** COMPLETE SOLUTION:***
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.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="48dp">
<View
android:id="#+id/guideline"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:visibility="invisible"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/progress_bar"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:indeterminate="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/guideline"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#+id/guideline" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

I ended up using a custom library to solve this issue. Most of the other solutions work but the results are not consistent across various devices.
MaterialProgressBar
Consistent appearance on Android 4.0+.
Correct tinting across platforms.
Able to remove the intrinsic padding of framework ProgressBar.
Able to hide the track of framework horizontal ProgressBar.
Used as a drop-in replacement for framework ProgressBar.
To add as a gradle dependency:
compile 'me.zhanghai.android.materialprogressbar:library:1.1.7'
To add a ProgressBar with no intrinsic padding to your layout:
<me.zhanghai.android.materialprogressbar.MaterialProgressBar
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="4dp"
android:indeterminate="true"
app:mpb_progressStyle="horizontal"
app:mpb_useIntrinsicPadding="false"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialProgressBar.ProgressBar.Horizontal" />
app:mpb_useIntrinsicPadding="false" does the trick. For more details see the GitHub page.

To remove the vertial padding of ProgressBar, you can do by
fix the height of ProgressBar
Use scaleY="value" (value = height/4) (4 is default height of progress bar)
Example contains 1 wrap_content ProgressBar, 1 8dp ProgressBar, 1 100dp ProgressBar
<ProgressBar
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
...
android:layout_height="8dp"
android:scaleY="2" />

<com.google.android.material.progressindicator.LinearProgressIndicator
android:id="#+id/progress_loading"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:visibility="visible"
android:indeterminate="true"
app:indicatorColor="#color/colorAccent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/app_bar_pdfview"/>
I am using this new progress bar using this
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.3.0'
trackThickness: the thickness of the indicator and track.
indicatorColor: the color(s) of the indicator.
trackColor: the color of the track.
trackCornerRadius: the radius of the rounded corner of the indicator
and track.
indeterminateAnimationType: the type of indeterminate animation.
indicatorDirectionLinear: the sweeping direction of the indicator.

It's possible to draw vertically centered ProgressBar inside a parent that would clip away the padding. Since ProgressBar cannot draw itself bigger than parent, we must create a big parent to place inside a clipping view.
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/clippedProgressBar"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="4dp"
tools:ignore="UselessParent">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="16dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical">
<ProgressBar
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:indeterminate="true"/>
</FrameLayout>
</FrameLayout>

A complete solution to this problem would be as follows. Just in case if someone needs code fragments, this is what I did.
Copied all the 8 indeterminate horizontal progressbar drawables
Edited the drawables using some image manipulator and remove unnecessary paddings
Copied the drawable XML named progress_indeterminate_horizontal_holo.xml from android platform
Copied the style Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal and its parents
Set the style and min_height manually in the layout
Here is the progress_indeterminate_horizontal_holo.xml
<animation-list
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:oneshot="false">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/progressbar_indeterminate_holo1" android:duration="50" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/progressbar_indeterminate_holo2" android:duration="50" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/progressbar_indeterminate_holo3" android:duration="50" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/progressbar_indeterminate_holo4" android:duration="50" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/progressbar_indeterminate_holo5" android:duration="50" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/progressbar_indeterminate_holo6" android:duration="50" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/progressbar_indeterminate_holo7" android:duration="50" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/progressbar_indeterminate_holo8" android:duration="50" />
</animation-list>
Style resources copied to my local styles file.
<style name="Widget">
<item name="android:textAppearance">#android:attr/textAppearance</item>
</style>
<style name="Widget.ProgressBar">
<item name="android:indeterminateOnly">true</item>
<item name="android:indeterminateBehavior">repeat</item>
<item name="android:indeterminateDuration">3500</item>
</style>
<style name="Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal">
<item name="android:indeterminateOnly">false</item>
<item name="android:indeterminateDrawable">#drawable/progress_indeterminate_horizontal_holo</item>
</style>
And finally, set min height to 4dp in my local layout file.
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/pb_loading"
style="#style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:indeterminate="true"
android:minHeight="4dp"
android:minWidth="48dp"
android:progressDrawable="#drawable/progress_indeterminate_horizontal_holo" />

I met the same problem while using progressbar with Horizontal style.
The root cause is that the default 9-patch drawable for progress bar:
(progress_bg_holo_dark.9.png) has some vertical transparent pixels as padding.
The final Solution that worked for me: customize the progress drawable, my sample code as follow:
custom_horizontal_progressbar_drawable.xml
<?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 android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#33ffffff" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:id="#android:id/secondaryProgress">
<clip>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ff9800" />
</shape>
</clip>
</item>
<item android:id="#android:id/progress">
<clip>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#E91E63" />
</shape>
</clip>
</item>
</layer-list>
layout snippet:
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/song_progress_normal"
style="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="5dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:progressDrawable="#drawable/custom_horizontal_progressbar_drawable"
android:progress="0"/>

One trick is to add negative margins to your progress bar.
Below is an example of the XML code, assuming it's on top of your screen:
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/progressBar"
style="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="-7dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="-7dp"
android:indeterminate="true" />

if someone still searching for a solution -- check this comment
set the minimum height to be 4 dp
android:minHeight="4dp"
-
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/web_view_progress_bar"
style="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:indeterminate="false"
android:max="100"
android:min="0"
android:progress="5"
android:minHeight="4dp"
android:progressTint="#color/vodafone_red"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
tools:progress="60" />

Subin's answer seems to be the only one (currently) that isn't a fragile hack subject to breakage in future releases of the Android ProgressBar.
But rather than going through the trouble of breaking out the resources, modifying them, and maintaining them indefinitely, I've opted to use the MaterialProgressBar library, which does that for us:
<me.zhanghai.android.materialprogressbar.MaterialProgressBar
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:indeterminate="true"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
custom:mpb_progressStyle="horizontal"
custom:mpb_showTrack="false"
custom:mpb_useIntrinsicPadding="false"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialProgressBar.ProgressBar.Horizontal.NoPadding"
/>
In build.gradle:
// Android horizontal ProgressBar doesn't allow removal of top/bottom padding
compile 'me.zhanghai.android.materialprogressbar:library:1.1.6'
That project has a nice demo that shows the differences between it and the built-in ProgressBar.

I use minHeight and maxHeigh. It helps for different Api versions.
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/progress_bar"
style="#style/Base.Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:maxHeight="3dp"
android:minHeight="3dp" />
It needs to use both. Api 23 works nice with
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="0dp"
But lower Api versions increase progress bar height to maxHeight in that case.

Try the following:
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/progress_bar"
style="#android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
android:progress="25"
android:progressTint="#color/colorWhite"
android:progressBackgroundTint="#color/colorPrimaryLight"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="4dp" />
... and then configure the progress bar to your needs since it'll initially display a mid-sized bar with a yellow-colored progress tint with a grayish progress background tint. Also, notice that there's no vertical padding.

Use like this, inside Linearlayout
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#efefef"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/progressBar"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:indeterminate="true"
android:visibility="gone"
android:layout_marginTop="-7dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="-7dp"
style="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal" />
</LinearLayout>

For me this is working. Progress bar is sharp. It fits perfectly. I tried with different heights of frame and progress.
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="4dp">
<ProgressBar
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="16dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:indeterminate="true"/>
</FrameLayout>

adding the android:progressDrawable to a layer-list defined in drawable fixed the issue for me. It works by masking the progess bar in a custom drawable
example implementation described at https://stackoverflow.com/a/4454450/1145905

I'm using style="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal" and it was fairly easy to get rid of the margins. That style is:
<item name="progressDrawable">#drawable/progress_horizontal_material</item>
<item name="indeterminateDrawable">#drawable/progress_indeterminate_horizontal_material</item>
<item name="minHeight">16dip</item>
<item name="maxHeight">16dip</item>
I just overrode the min/max height:
<ProgressBar
style="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="2dp"
android:indeterminate="true"
android:minHeight="2dp"
android:maxHeight="2dp" />

Not necessary to download any new module or even put a FrameLayout around your Progress Bar. These are all just hacks. Only 2 steps:
In your whatever.xml
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/workoutSessionGlobalProgress"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="YOUR_HEIGHT"
android:progressDrawable="#drawable/progress_horizontal"
android:progress="0"
<!-- High value to make ValueAnimator smoother -->
android:max="DURATION * 1000"
android:indeterminate="false"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialProgressBar.ProgressBar.Horizontal"/>
progress_horizontal.xml, Change the values as you please.
Don't like the rounded corners? Remove corner radius
Don't like the colors? Change the colors, etc.
Done!
<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="#ffffd300"
android:centerColor="#ffffb600"
android:centerY="0.75"
android:endColor="#ffffcb00"
android:angle="270"
/>
</shape>
</clip>
</item>
</layer-list>
Generally, these are the steps to change the code of anything you don't like. Just find the source code and figure out what to change. If you follow the ProgressBar source code, you will find a file called progress_horizontal.xml that it references. Basically how I solve all my XML problems.

Just make use of Material ProgressIndicator which has no hidden margin.
<com.google.android.material.progressindicator.ProgressIndicator
android:id="#+id/progressBar"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.ProgressIndicator.Linear.Indeterminate"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:indicatorColor="#color/colorPrimary"
app:trackColor="#color/colorAccent" />

<ProgressBar
android:layout_marginTop="-8dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="-8dp"
android:layout_marginRight="-8dp"
android:id="#+id/progress_bar"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="4dp"
android:indeterminate="false"
android:indeterminateTint="#color/white"
android:max="100"
android:paddingStart="8dp"
android:paddingRight="0dp"
android:progressDrawable="#drawable/progress_bg" />

<androidx.core.widget.ContentLoadingProgressBar
android:id="#+id/progressBar"
style="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:indeterminate="true"
android:paddingTop="2dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"/>

set height value you want in java file, most important is setMaxHeight.
progressBar.setMinHeight(heightYouWant);
progressBar.setMaxHeight(heightYouWant);
it work for me!

A simple no-tricks solution which is compatible with any version of Android and doesn't need external libraries is faking ProgressBar with two Views inside LinearLayout. This is what I ended up with. Looks pretty neat and this approach is quite flexible - you can animate it in funky ways, add text etc.
Layout:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/inventory_progress_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="4dp"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/inventory_progress_value"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/inventory_progress_remaining"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
Code:
public void setProgressValue(float percentage) {
TextView progressValue = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.inventory_progress_value);
TextView progressRemaining = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.inventory_progress_remaining);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams paramsValue = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams paramsRemaining = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
paramsValue.weight = (100 - percentage);
paramsRemaining.weight = percentage;
progressValue.setLayoutParams(paramsValue);
progressRemaining.setLayoutParams(paramsRemaining);
}
Result (with some elevation added):

The best solution should be
android:minHeight="0dp"
No workaround and works like a charm.

One simple way to move the Progressbar up that does not require any additional views or fiddling with the margins is to use the attribute android:translationZ
That way you could either use it in the XML
<Progressbar
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:translateY="-6dp"
/>
or
use it from within a style
<style name="MyTheme.Progressbar.Horizontal" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Progressbar.Horizontal">
<item name="android:translateY">-6dp</item>
</style>
and then reference it in the Layout like this
<Progressbar
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
style="#style/MyTheme.Progressbar.Horizontal"
/>

Make the size of the progressBar really big (i mean height) and then place it into a frameLayout of the size that you wish your progressBar needs to be.
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="10dp">
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/progress_bar"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:backgroundTint="#android:color/transparent"
android:indeterminate="true"
android:indeterminateTint="#color/white" />
</FrameLayout>

Here's a simple material horizontal progress bar without adding a file, scaling, or changing the dimension
style="#android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
android:progressTint="Your Progress Color"
android:progressTintMode="src_over"
android:progressBackgroundTint="Your Background Color"
android:backgroundTintMode="src_over"
This works by coloring over the progress or background color presented in Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal

How to apply spacing between ShapeableImageView and its stroke

I am using ShapeableImageView thus:
<com.google.android.material.imageview.ShapeableImageView
android:id="#+id/myImage"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="#drawable/larry"
app:strokeColor="#color/red"
app:strokeWidth="9dp"
app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="#style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.App.CornerCircle" />
and it's drawing quite alright. However, I want a little spacing between the view and the stroke. I have tried android:padding="10dp" but that doesn't seem to be working.
I have also tried removing the stroke properties and using this drawable resource to set the background of the view:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<stroke
android:width="9dp"
android:color="#00FF00" />
</shape>
but the border didn't appear at all.
Please, do you know of any way I can achieve it?
I was looking for this myself, and just stumbled on contentPadding in the Android documentation.
In XML:
app:contentPadding="10dp"
In code:
.setContentPadding(left, top, right, bottom)
It is not elegant but you can try something like this:
<com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:elevation="0dp"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#color/red600"
app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="#style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.App.CornerCircle"
>
<com.google.android.material.imageview.ShapeableImageView
app:srcCompat="#drawable/..."
android:padding="9dp"
app:strokeWidth="1dp"
app:strokeColor="#color/white"
app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="#style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.App.CornerCircle" />
</com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView>
with
<style name="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.App.CornerCircle" parent="">
<item name="cornerFamily">rounded</item>
<item name="cornerSize">50%</item>
</style>

How to apply Vertical progress Drawable for a vertical seekbar

I have created a vertical seek bar by adding android:rotation="270" in seekbar.
But i have been shared with a progress drawable which is vertical in position.
If i am applying this vertical image as progress drawable , seekbar is not looking fine.
can someone help me for this ?
layout:
<SeekBar
android:id="#+id/seekBar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Here seek_bar_background.png and seek_bar_progress.png are vertical images

How to make ScrollView transparent?

I have a ScrollView that contains a ConstraintLayout. The ConstraintLayout has a drawable resource as its background: android:background=#drawable/bg_rounded_corner_pin_bg which sucessfully gives the ConstraintLayout rounded corners. The issue I have is that the ScrollView shows up behind the rounded corners of the ConstraintView and I cannot make the ScrollView transparent:
Here's the layout file:
activity_enterpin.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:id="#+id/scrollviewPin"
android:background="#00000000" // this is where I need transparency
>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:maxWidth="#dimen/layout_maxwidth"
android:padding="#dimen/layout_padding"
android:background="#drawable/bg_rounded_corner_pin_bg">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/title_margintop"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/pinlock_title"
android:textColor="#color/text_title"
android:textSize="#dimen/textsize_title"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<com.example.isaacmain3.lockscreen.andrognito.pinlockview.IndicatorDots
android:id="#+id/indicator_dots"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/dot_margintop"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/title" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/attempts"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/attempts_margintop"
android:textColor="#color/text_attempts"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/indicator_dots" />
<com.example.isaacmain3.lockscreen.andrognito.pinlockview.PinLockView
android:id="#+id/pinlockView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/lockview_margin"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/attempts"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.1" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
</ScrollView>
This is what the result looks like at the moment:
I've played around with the background color in the ScrollView and I am able to successfully change the color to any non-transparent color from the field I commented above. How do I get rid of these corners?
Here's the drawable file that I used to make rounded corners in case that's of any use:
bg_rounded_corner_pin_bg.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#color/colorPrimaryDark"/>
<!-- <stroke android:width="2dp"
android:color="#999999"/>-->
<!-- <padding android:left="2dp"
android:top="2dp"
android:right="2dp"
android:bottom="2dp"/>-->
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="20dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="20dp"
android:topLeftRadius="20dp"
android:topRightRadius="20dp"
/>
</shape>
Instead of setting the background, use
android:scrollbarThumbVertical="#null"
Define a new theme in styles.xml:
<style name="TransparentActivity" parent="#android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowBackground">#drawable/bg_rounded_corner_pin_bg</item>
<item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
</style>
Then, in AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity android:name=".<activity_name>"
android:theme="#style/TransparentActivity"/>
Finally, in the activity class:
DisplayMetrics m = new DisplayMetrics();
getDisplay().getMetrics(m);
WindowManager.LayoutParams params = getWindow().getAttributes();
params.width = m.widthPixels*4/5;
params.height = m.heightPixels*3/4;
params.gravity = Gravity.CENTER;
getWindow().setAttributes(params);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
....
Note that there is code before super.onCreate() is called.

DrawableLeft in center with text

I can't center my drawableLeft icon.
I can easily put icon on the left of text, but if I set gravity to center, then only text is centered, but no icon.
<Button
android:id="#+id/patient_list_button"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/patientList"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/ic_icon_two_heads"
android:layout_marginBottom="15dp"
style="#style/darkBlueButtonWithImage"/>
This is what I want:
This is what I have:
<style name="darkBlueButtonWithImage">
<item name="android:drawablePadding">10dp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">10dp</item>
<item name="android:background">#drawable/radius_dark_blue_button</item>
<item name="android:gravity">center_vertical|left</item>
<item name="android:drawableTint">#color/white</item> <!-- has to be set in activity.java -->
</style>
How can I achieve this?
Finally, after all these years, we have possibility to achieve such behavior in simple and intuitive way.
All you have to do is use MaterialButton from Google Material library. Then use style with icon. After that you can use app:iconGravity property and set it to textStart
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.Icon"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Some text"
app:iconGravity="textStart"
app:icon="#drawable/some_icon" />
The easiest solution IMO:
yourButtonView.text = SpannableString(" ${getString(R.string.your_string)}").apply {
setSpan(
ImageSpan(requireContext(), R.drawable.your_icon),
0,
1,
Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE
)
}
Is a bit hacky? Maybe. Does it work with every button (MaterialButton, AppCompatButton, Button, etc)? It does.
I prefer this rather than going with all the hassle of creating a custom view or something like that.
After giving Google's approach a try over 9000 times, I almost always ended up using a ViewGroup to put both side by side, particularly a RelativeLayout or LinearLayout and then adding an ImageView and a TextView. It's lame, but drawableStart/End have so many missing features that you'll waste a lot of time before you realize "you can't do it".
Alignments, tinting, Vectors, etc. All those things are harder or impossible with the "built in" drawable.
Using Button attributes android:drawableLeft and android:drawablePadding you won't be able to get your expected result. You can create a custom button using RelativeLayout or LinearLayout, TextView and ImageView. Use <selector> to define your button state(normal/pressed) behavior.
Here is an working example. Try this:
<!--- Custom Button -->
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/patient_list_button"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:background="#drawable/custom_button_selector">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:gravity="center_vertical">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="24dp"
android:layout_height="24dp"
android:src="#drawable/icon_refresh"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:textSize="16dp"
android:text="CUSTOM BUTTON"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"/>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
custom_button_selector.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:state_pressed="true"
android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/bg_custom_button_pressed" />
<item
android:state_focused="true"
android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/bg_custom_button_pressed" />
<item
android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/bg_custom_button_normal" />
</selector>
bg_custom_button_normal.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<!-- view background color -->
<solid
android:color="#01A1DD" >
</solid>
<!-- Here is the corner radius -->
<corners android:radius="8dp" >
</corners>
</shape>
bg_custom_button_pressed.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<!-- view background color -->
<solid
android:color="#303F9F">
</solid>
<!-- Here is the corner radius -->
<corners android:radius="8dp" >
</corners>
</shape>
OUTPUT:
Hope this will help~
a) Increase "paddingLeft" value and shrink or remove "drawablePadding" in your case, adjust the value to a proper one; for example:
android:paddingLeft="50dp"
android:gravity="center_vertical|left"
b) Use a custom view.
A bit hacky solution:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_whatsapp"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="#id/tv_call"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/tv_completed_message_desc"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:textStyle="normal"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/rs_dp_13"
android:layout_marginRight="#dimen/rs_dp_12"
android:background="#drawable/rs_dark_teal_rectangle_bg"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:textColor="#color/dark_teal"
**android:paddingHorizontal="38dp"**
android:includeFontPadding="false"
**android:drawableStart="#drawable/rs_user_journey_whatsapp_icon"**
**android:drawableLeft="#drawable/rs_user_journey_whatsapp_icon"**
android:visibility="visible"
android:letterSpacing="0.04"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle="packed"
**android:gravity="center_vertical|end"**
android:text="Whatsapp"/>
Setting horizontal padding along with gravity as center_vertical|end will achieve the required behaviour. You can increase/decrease the padding as per requirement.

Best way to create a bottom toolbar in android.

Looking for a good approach to achieve a similar toolbar. Should I use image buttons ??
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/actionbarT"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/thebackgroundimageyouwant"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:theme="#style/Base.Theme.AppCompat.CompactMenu" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/toolbarmenucontainer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:weightSum="3"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/preferedbackground"
android:clickable="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:layout_weight = "1"
android:src="#drawable/preferredimage" />
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/preferedbackground"
android:clickable="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:layout_weight = "1"
android:src="#drawable/preferredimage" />
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/preferedbackground"
android:clickable="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:layout_weight = "1"
android:src="#drawable/preferredimage" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
the idea is they will lay out horizontally like the one you want, also then do not do ToolBar.setTitle() or setnagivation on the ToolBar also you don't have to add optionsMenu to it. so it will be bare like the one you want.
try it and see if it fits your requirement, remember to add the background and image src to the ImageButtons
I know this question is super old, but I figure it's never too late to answer for other peoples sake who are searching for the same thing. I just found this tutorial and these official docs on the subject now that bottom navs are officially supported by Android and are a part of the material design guidelines if your app has 3 to 5 top level navigation locations. I hope this helps someone else, because I spent a good bit of time looking around for this.
I shared my solution on GitHub. It is for Xamarin but the layouts are the same.

I came to this question sometime back. I was unable to add text below the buttons. I have written an article how I solved the problem with code snippet and screenshot here, create goolge plus like toolbar in android
This works for me in 2020, Android Studio 3.5.3 is how to set a Toolbar (the second half of the accepted answer).
How do I align views at the bottom of the screen?
You can use a Toolbar layout/widget in androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
Set the
alignParentBottom
property to "true" (Place the elements Inside a RelativeLayout).
Well, last time I tried to do this I've used Buttons at the bottom of the layout wrapped by a LinearLayout, something like this:
<LinearLayout>
// The other stuff on the view
(...)
</LinearLayout>
// (This is the part you can try to use as a toolbar)
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
style="?android:attr/borderlessButtonStyle"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:background="#drawable/button_tab"
android:textColor="#ffffffff"
android:text="#string/bt_orders"
android:id="#+id/bt_orders"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
style="?android:attr/borderlessButtonStyle"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:background="#drawable/button_tab"
android:textColor="#ffffffff"
android:text="#string/bt_credit"
android:id="#+id/bt_credit"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
And if you're curious about the style and background I've used, here it is:
// button_tab.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/button_pressed" />
<solid android:color="#color/button_pressed" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_focused="true" >
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/button_focus" />
<solid android:color="#color/button_focus" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/button_normal" />
<solid android:color="#color/button_normal" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
