Show numbers in ProgressBar

Question

I have a ProgressBar. It works ok but I need to show the max value and the current value. They are not there.

Do I need to change to a ProgressDialog?

Answer 1

I don't think you want to use a progressbar. It looks like a SeekBar with some numbers at either end of it.

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/LinearLayout_Lose250HandsSlider"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView_MinValue"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:text="0"/>
    <SeekBar
        android:id="@+id/SeekBar_Lose250HandsSlider"
        android:max="250"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1.0"/>
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView_CurrentValue"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:text="250"/>
</LinearLayout>

Why dont you just add the text manually, it seems like a much simple approach, I placed it where ever I wanted here, but you can just change the layout to what your need are.

Sorry if there are any mistakes in the code, I didnt run this.

XML:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView android:id="@+id/tvwShortMessage"
android:typeface="sans"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:textStyle="italic"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView android:id="@+id/tvwLongMessage"
android:typeface="sans"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:textStyle="italic"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/tvwShortMessage"/>
<LinearLayout 
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"    
android:layout_marginBottom="15dp" 
android:layout_below="@id/tvwLongMessage">
<ProgressBar
android:id="@+id/pgbAwardProgress"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"    
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp" 
android:layout_marginTop="5dp" 
android:layout_marginBottom="15dp" 
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"/>
</LinearLayout>
<TextView android:id="@+id/pgbAwardProgressText"
android:typeface="sans"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:textStyle="italic"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/pgbAwardProgress"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:visibility="gone"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Class:

private class AwardsAdapter extends ArrayAdapter <AwardItem>{


    private ArrayList<AwardItem> awards = new ArrayList<AwardItem>();

    public AwardsAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId, ArrayList<AwardItem> awards) {
        super(context, textViewResourceId,awards);
        this.awards = awards;
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View v = convertView;
        if (v == null) {
            LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)AwardsActivity.this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            v = vi.inflate(R.layout.awards_row, parent, false);
        }
        AwardItem award = awards.get(position);
        ProgressBar pb = (ProgressBar) v.findViewById(R.id.pgbAwardProgress);

        if(award.award_type == PROGRESSIVE) {
            pb.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            pb.setMax(award.requirement);
            pb.setProgress(award.current_amount);
            pb.setIndeterminate(false);
            TextView progressText = ((TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.pgbAwardProgressText));
            progressText.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            progressText.setText(award.current_amount+"/"+award.requirement);
        } else {
            pb.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        }
        ((TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.tvwShortMessage)).
                      setText(MessageBuilder.buildMessage(AwardsActivity.this, award.award_text, 
                              Integer.valueOf(award.requirement).toString()));

        return v;
    }

}

ProgressBar is deisigned to show the progress. you will find a good tutorial here to show the progress accordingly. It is recommended to use AsyncTask for Progress update, because it is painless threading.
