I am working with a SeekBar that works perfectly fine. But I want to increase the height of the Progress bar, as the native height is not as high.
So how can I change the height of the progress bar, either dynamically or through XML?
Answer
You can do this via XML.
It will work fine in your application.do this simple integration in your XML where you have mentioned the Progress Bar tag.
First, you need to define the style of your progress bar in values->styles.xml of your project. something like:
<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>
Edit the maxHeight to your desired height what you want to achieve.
Then in your ProgressBar add:
android:style="@style/tallerBarStyle"
It will work perfectly.
