If your progress bar is defined in the XML layout, it looks like you define its height like so:
<ProgressBar
android:minHeight="20dip"
android:maxHeight="20dip"/>
However I'm just making a guess from this article.
You need to replace
style=”?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal”
to
style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
and layout_height will work
android:layout_height="50dp"
The trick is to have your ProgressBar use the "old", none halo, style. Otherwise it will use a 9-patch image as a progress drawable and you can't change the height unless you manipulate the image. So here is what I did :
the progressbar :
<ProgressBar
android:id="@+id/my_progressbar"
style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="10dp"
android:progressDrawable="@drawable/horizontal_progress_drawable_red" />
the progress drawable (horizontal_progress_drawable_red.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>
<solid android:color="#808080"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:id="@android:id/secondaryProgress">
<clip>
<shape>
<solid android:color="#80ff0000"/>
</shape>
</clip>
</item>
<item android:id="@android:id/progress">
<clip>
<shape>
<solid android:color="#ff0000"/>
</shape>
</clip>
</item>
</layer-list>
Can use this code :
mProgressBar.setScaleY(3f);
Or use custom style
values->styles.xml
<style name="tallerBarStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.SeekBar">
<item name="android:indeterminateOnly">false</item>
<item name="android:progressDrawable">@android:drawable/progress_horizontal</item>
<item name="android:indeterminateDrawable">@android:drawable/progress_horizontal</item>
<item name="android:minHeight">8dip</item>
<item name="android:maxHeight">20dip</item>
</style>
Then in your ProgressBar add:
style="@style/tallerBarStyle"
