How to make a smaller RatingBar?

Question

I\'ve added a RatingBar in a layout:

Answer 1

After a lot of research I found the best solution to reduce the size of custom rating bars is to get the size of progress drawable in certain sizes as mentioned below :

xxhdpi - 48*48 px

xhdpi - 36*36 px

hdpi - 24*24 px

And in style put the minheight and maxheight as 16 dp for all Resolution.

Let me know if this doesn't help you to get a best small size rating bars as these sizes I found very compatible and equivalent to ratingbar.small style attribute.

How to glue the code given here ...

Step-1. You need your own rating stars in res/drawable ...

Step-2 In res/drawable you need ratingstars.xml as follow ...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:id="@android:id/background"
          android:drawable="@drawable/star_empty" />
    <item android:id="@android:id/secondaryProgress"
          android:drawable="@drawable/star_empty" />
    <item android:id="@android:id/progress"
          android:drawable="@drawable/star" />
</layer-list>

Step-3 In res/values you need styles.xml as follow ...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <style name="foodRatingBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.RatingBar">
        <item name="android:progressDrawable">@drawable/ratingstars</item>
        <item name="android:minHeight">22dip</item>
        <item name="android:maxHeight">22dip</item>
    </style>
</resources>

Step-4 In your layout ...

<RatingBar 
      android:id="@+id/rtbProductRating"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:numStars="5"
      android:rating="3.5"
      android:isIndicator="false"
      style="@style/foodRatingBar"    
/>  

Answer 3

I solve this issue the following: style="?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall"

Answer 4

There is no need to add a listener to the ?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall. Just add android:isIndicator=false and it will capture click events, e.g.

<RatingBar
  android:id="@+id/myRatingBar"
  style="?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:numStars="5"
  android:isIndicator="false" />

Answer 5

 <RatingBar
                    android:rating="3.5"
                    android:stepSize="0.5"
                    android:numStars="5"
                    style = "?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall"
                    android:theme="@style/RatingBar"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

// if you want to style 

 <style name="RatingBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
        <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>

// add these line for small rating bar

style = "?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall"
