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

A complete solution to this problem would be as follows. Just in case if someone needs code fragments, this is what I did.

1. Copied all the 8 indeterminate horizontal progressbar drawables
2. Edited the drawables using some image manipulator and remove unnecessary paddings
3. Copied the drawable XML named progress_indeterminate_horizontal_holo.xml from android platform
4. Copied the style Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal and its parents
5. Set the style and min_height manually in the layout

Here is the progress_indeterminate_horizontal_holo.xml

Style resources copied to my local styles file.

And finally, set min height to 4dp in my local layout file.
