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

I use minHeight and maxHeigh. It helps for different Api versions.

It needs to use both. Api 23 works nice with

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="0dp"

But lower Api versions increase progress bar height to maxHeight in that case.
