Question

I am following the standard example of how to add a RatingBar. To control the number of stars I tried to use android:numStars=\"5\". The problem is

Answer 1

To show a simple star rating in round figure just use this code

public static String getIntToStar(int starCount) {
        String fillStar = "\u2605";
        String blankStar = "\u2606";
        String star = "";

        for (int i = 0; i < starCount; i++) {
            star = star.concat(" " + fillStar);
        }
        for (int j = (5 - starCount); j > 0; j--) {
            star = star.concat(" " + blankStar);
        }
        return star;
    }

And use it like this

button.setText(getIntToStar(4));
