I am trying to achieve this progress bar design:
The current code that I have produces this:
This is the code:
<item android:id="@android:id/background">
<shape>
<corners android:radius="8dp"/>
<solid android:color="@color/dirtyWhite"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:id="@android:id/progress">
<clip>
<shape>
<corners android:radius="8dp"/>
<solid android:color="@color/colorPrimaryDark"/>
</shape>
</clip>
</item>
My progress bar:
<ProgressBar
android:id="@+id/activeProgress"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:layout_width="300dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:progress="10"
android:progressDrawable="@drawable/rounded_corners_progress_bar"/>
I tried adding <size>
attribute on the <shape>
in <clip
to make the progress shape a bit smaller but it did not work. Also, the progress bar is flat and I want to be curved as per design. What I need to change in order to achieve the design?
How to make the progress shape a bit smaller?
You need to give the progress item a little padding, like so:
<item android:id="@android:id/progress"
android:top="2dp"
android:bottom="2dp"
android:left="2dp"
android:right="2dp">
How to make the progress bar to be curved as per design?
Replace the <clip></clip>
element, with <scale android:scaleWidth="100%"></scale>
. That will make the shape keep its form as it grows - and not cut off.
Unfortunately, it will have a little unwanted visual effect at the beginning - as the shape corners don't have enough space to draw. But it might be good enough for most cases.
Full code:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@android:id/background">
<shape>
<corners android:radius="8dp"/>
<solid android:color="@color/dirtyWhite"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:id="@android:id/progress"
android:top="1dp"
android:bottom="1dp"
android:left="1dp"
android:right="1dp">
<scale android:scaleWidth="100%">
<shape>
<corners android:radius="8dp"/>
<solid android:color="@color/colorPrimaryDark"/>
</shape>
</scale>
</item>
</layer-list>
Thanks to Georgi Koemdzhiev for a nice question and images. For those who want to make similar to his, do the following.
1) Create a background for a ProgressBar
.
progress_bar_background.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle"
>
<corners android:radius="3dp" />
<stroke android:color="@color/white" android:width="1dp" />
</shape>
2) Create a scale for the ProgressBar
.
curved_progress_bar.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>
<corners android:radius="2dp" />
<solid android:color="@color/transparent" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:id="@android:id/progress">
<clip>
<shape>
<corners android:radius="2dp" />
<solid android:color="#ffff00" />
</shape>
</clip>
</item>
</layer-list>
3) In layout file add the ProgressBar
.
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="6dp"
android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="20dp"
android:background="@drawable/progress_bar_background"
>
<ProgressBar
android:id="@+id/progress_bar"
style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="4dp"
android:layout_margin="1dp"
android:indeterminate="false"
android:progressDrawable="@drawable/curved_progress_bar"
/>
</FrameLayout>
