How to design dynamic UI elements in Android

I have a general question about how to design dynamic UI elements in Android (with Java).

I would like to have a thermometer in my app that depending on some external information increases or decreases a red bar(shown below). . How can i design something like this in Android?

I could for example just design the thermometer without the red bar as a jpeg with some drawing program and then somehow implement the red bar in Android as an object that can be changed programmatically whereas the 'rim' of the thermometer does not change. The problem I see with this approach is that I believe it is extremely difficult to match the rim of the thermometer with the red bar for different screen sizes and resolutions. Do you have another suggestion on how I could do something like this? Is there maybe a library for this?

I'd appreciate every comment as I have no experience whatsoever generally with designing such dynamic UI objects.

Updated Answer:

I have created a demo project on Github here. This project has the Thermometer custom view in which the outer thermometer is drawn from an image file and the inside mercury view of the thermometer is drawn from the code. You can look over the project of user kofigyan I shared in my previous answer for other customizations.

Previous Answer:

I think what are you looking for is creating Custom Views in Android.

You can extend the Android View class and can create your Custom View. The View has a Canvas object on which you can draw the shape of a Thermo-meter and can build functionalities to change the state of your shape in your subclass itself. Moreover, with the Paint object, you can paint your drawn shape.

I found this project on Github by a user kofigyan.
