I'm displaying an horizontal progress bar in my action bar. My problem is the progress bar width is not the action bar width, but smaller (but centered). Is that a normal behavior? How can I give it the screen width?
I'm using this in onCreate
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS); and this in my methods
public void setShowIndeterminateProgress(boolean val) { setProgressBarIndeterminate(true); setProgressBarVisibility(val); } Thanks in advance.
There is an attribute android:progressBarPadding in the action bar style. Set it to 0dip.
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar"> <item name="android:progressBarPadding">0dip</item> </style> You need to delete all items from your menu.
@Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater(); //inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu); ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar(); actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false); actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false); actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(false); actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false); //actionBar.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher); LayoutInflater inflator = (LayoutInflater) this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); View view = inflator.inflate(R.layout.actionbar_main, null); //actionBar.setCustomView(view); return true; } Then after that create an xml layout with progress bar. In it width="match_parent". Uncomment actionBar.setCustomView and this method to inflate your actionBar with your own custom view.
Try that and give me a sing does it work for you.
