Remove vertical padding from horizontal ProgressBar

Question

By default the ProgressBar has a certain padding above and below the bar itself. Is there a way to remove this padding so as to only have the bar in the end?

Answer 1

If someone still needs help can try this:

Here, the progress bar is inside the ConstraintLayout, and the constraintTop_toTopOf and constraintBottom_toTopOf attributes must be applied to the same element (in this case, it is guideline).
