Answer 3

If your RatingBar is in an AlertDialog, stick in inside of a LinearLayout and use setView on the LinearLayout. Then you can set its width to WRAP_CONTENT.

Answer 4

setting the width of the RatingBar to "wrap content" solves the whole issue. According to the documentation:

Sets the number of stars to show. In order for these to be shown properly, it is recommended the layout width of this widget be wrap content.

Answer 5

Try to set max value for your RatingBar Like Below

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/active_bg" >

    <RatingBar
            android:id="@+id/rating"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            style="?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall"
            android:numStars="5"
            android:stepSize="0.1"
            android:isIndicator="true" />

</RelativeLayout>

create an xml file in your layout file and set this as the content

Change your showDialog function like this

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.***your_xml_name***));
editor.setView(layout);
editor.show();
