Progressbar android with text inside

Question

I have a circular ProgressBar, I want inside this circular bar, write the progression in percentage (like 60 %, or 70 %..)
How can I do this inside the circ

Answer 1

The onDraw way presents its own set of challenges between Android versions and devices. I have particularly liked using a RelativeLayout or FrameLayout. If need be, use styles across various dpi's for consistency in UX.

Answer 2

You could achieve it overriding onDraw inside ProgressBar, and use Canvas.drawText to decide where the text should be positioned . Here you can find the documentation for drwawText:

x and y are the coordinates of the origin of the text being drawn

Answer 3

You should try this:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/myProgress"
        android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/myTextProgress"
        android:layout_alignLeft="@id/myProgress" android:layout_alignTop="@id/myProgress"
        android:layout_alignRight="@id/myProgress" android:layout_alignBottom="@id/myProgress"
        android:background="@android:color/transparent" >

</RelativeLayout>  

You also can with the centerInParent set to true, see this.
And see this tutorial or this one for more info to display your percentage.
Hope this will help.
