How to create 'Horizontal style' progress bar programmatically in Android?

Question

I am creating a ProgressBar in my app programmatically it is of SPIN style by default however I want it in HORIZONTAL style. I don't see any method/constant to achieve this.

And I don't want to use ProgressDialog as it'd be inconsistent with my App UI theme.

Any suggestions please?

Answer 1

use this:

ProgressBar pb = new ProgressBar(context,
                                 null, 
                                 android.R.attr.progressBarStyleHorizontal);

If you are using a ProgressDialog then, here is a way to change the style of the progressBar in the ProgressDialog.

mProgressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
