I want to create a Circluar Determinate ProgressBar, the kind which shows the Progress in the center of the Bar. Is there any default way to create this, or will i have to create my own custom one.
First add a progress_circle.xml to your res/drawable directory like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:drawable="@drawable/progress_circular_background"/>
<item>
<shape
android:innerRadiusRatio="3.4"
android:shape="ring"
android:thicknessRatio="6.0" >
<gradient
android:endColor="#ffffffff"
android:startColor="#ffffff"
android:type="sweep"
android:useLevel="true" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<rotate
android:drawable="@drawable/progress_particle"
android:fromDegrees="0"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:toDegrees="360" />
</item>
</layer-list>
I Googled image searched both "progress_particle.png" and "progress_circular_background.png" (with quotes) since the android default drawables for those were missing. You'll probably want to customize those but they'll do to get you started.
Then in your xml layout:
<ProgressBar
android:id="@+id/timer_progress"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:indeterminate="false"
android:max="60"
android:progressDrawable="@drawable/progress_circle" />
My max is 60, since I'm using it for a seconds timer, but you might have something different.
The trick is that you need to use style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal" even though it's a circular progress.
