Android RatingBar: getProgressDrawable doesn't cast to right Class

Question

I am using

Android RatingBar change star colors

This line of code

    LayerDrawable stars = (LayerDrawable) rating_bar.getProgressDrawable();
         


        

Answer 1

Creating a subclass of RatingDialog and using that instead ofandroid.widget.RatingBar worked for me. Here is the code I used.

Subclass:

public class RatingBar extends android.widget.RatingBar {
public RatingBar(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
}

public RatingBar(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
}
}

Then in my layouts:

Then in the classes where you are casting the class, just use your.package.RatingBar instead of android.widget.RatingBar
