How to Customize a Progress Bar In Android

Question

I am working on an app in which I want to show a ProgressBar, but I want to replace the default Android ProgressBar.

So how can I customize

Answer 1

If you want to do this in code, here is a sample:

pd = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
pd.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);
pd.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));
pd.getWindow().setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL|Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
tv.setTextSize(20);
tv.setText("Waiting...");
pd.setCustomTitle(tv);
pd.setIndeterminate(true);
pd.show();

Using TextView gives you an option to change color, size, and font of your text. Otherwise you can just call setMessage(), as usual.
