I have already added a style
<style name="myRatingBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.RatingBar">
<item name="android:minHeight">32dp</item>
<item name="android:maxHeight">32dp</item>
</style>
However instead of scaled stars I'm receiving cropped stars:
Is there a way to change the size of the stars?
Another approach would be scaling the widget:
android:scaleX="0.5"
android:scaleY="0.5"
Android won't scale a rating bar icons. When you decrease the minHeight
and maxHeight
android will always crop the icons as shown on the picture. The workaround for it and seems to be the only one solution is to provide your own icons for stars with the desired dimensions and set the minHeight
and maxHeight
to the size of the icons.
//you can also try
<style name="myRatingBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.RatingBar.Indicator">
<style name="myRatingBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.RatingBar.Small">
Ref: /android-sdk/platforms/android-10/data/res/values/styles.xml
<style name="Widget.RatingBar">
<item name="android:indeterminateOnly">false</item>
<item name="android:progressDrawable">@android:drawable/ratingbar_full</item>
<item name="android:indeterminateDrawable">@android:drawable/ratingbar_full</item>
<item name="android:minHeight">57dip</item>
<item name="android:maxHeight">57dip</item>
<item name="android:thumb">@null</item>
</style>
<style name="Widget.RatingBar.Indicator">
<item name="android:indeterminateOnly">false</item>
<item name="android:progressDrawable">@android:drawable/ratingbar</item>
<item name="android:indeterminateDrawable">@android:drawable/ratingbar</item>

<item name="android:maxHeight">38dip</item>
<item name="android:thumb">@null</item>
<item name="android:isIndicator">true</item>
</style>
<style name="Widget.RatingBar.Small">
<item name="android:indeterminateOnly">false</item>
<item name="android:progressDrawable">@android:drawable/ratingbar_small</item>
<item name="android:indeterminateDrawable">@android:drawable/ratingbar_small</item>
<item name="android:minHeight">14dip</item>
<item name="android:maxHeight">14dip</item>
<item name="android:thumb">@null</item>
<item name="android:isIndicator">true</item>
</style>
You solved your problem. But this may help others.
I have same issue.All solutions I got does not work for multiple screen sizes. After spending hours I ended with following solution.
Just get drawable height which you want to use at runtime and set it to RatingBar. Here is sample code.
Drawable starDrawable = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.YOUR_IMAGE);
int height = starDrawable.getMinimumHeight();
LayoutParams params = (LayoutParams) ratingBar.getLayoutParams();
params.height = height;
ratingBar.setLayoutParams(params);
Look at this Custom Rating Bar in Small Style .
I think you have to use the Custom Style for Rating Bar . Here is the Example.
This is not exactly an answer but I would like to show an alternative. Using a library called Iconify that allow you to use scalable vector icons on android apps and with a simple method you can create awesome ratingbar with icons.
The method
public static String montarEstrellasValoracion(float valoration,int starSize) {
String result="";
float cont=1f;
for(float i=1f;i<=valoration;i++){
if(valoracion==0){
break;
}
cont=i;
if((cont+0.5f)>=(valoration) && valoracion!=5f){
result+="{fa-star "+starSize+"dp} ";
result+="{fa-star-half-o "+starSize+"dp} ";
cont++;
break;
}else if((cont+0.5f)<(valoration) && (cont+1f)>(valoration) && valoration!=5f){
result+="{fa-star "+starSize+"dp} ";
result+="{fa-star "+starSize+"dp} ";
cont++;
break;
}
if(cont<=5){
result+="{fa-star "+starSize+"dp} ";
}
}
for(float j=cont;j<5f;j++){
result+="{fa-star-o "+starSize+"dp} ";
}
if(valoration==0){
result+="{fa-star-o "+starSize+"dp}";
}
return result;
}
And then on the onCreate method:
IconTextView valoracion = (IconTextView)item.findViewById(R.id.id_icon_textview);
valoracion.setText(montarEstrellasValoracion(valoration,15));
valoracion.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#000");
The icons are from another awesome site called Font Awesome
Hope this help anybody!
<RatingBar
android:id="@+id/AVL_rating"
style="?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/ASD_cardlayout"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/_10sdp"
android:isIndicator="true"
android:numStars="5"
android:rating="5.0"
android:secondaryProgressTint="@color/clr_red"
android:stepSize="1.0" />
Maybe we can use the another alternative that android provides small size of rating stars.
Adding style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.RatingBar.Small" to the RatingBar.
<RatingBar
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/list_item_margin"
android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/list_item_margin"
android:numStars="5"
android:isIndicator="true"
style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.RatingBar.Small"/>
just add font-size
ppt to in style : style='font-size: 1.7vw'
