How to set style to a progressBar programmatically on Android

Question

I have ProgressBar style in style.xml. When I create layout, put there ProgressBar and set style like:

style="@style/ProgressBarStyle"

set layout to dialog and all is fine.

Other way create view for dialog programmatically. So for ProgressBar I have next code:

new ProgressBar(context, null, R.style.ProgressBarStyle);

But in this way there is nothing instead ProgressBar.

PS I don't forget add ProgressBar to view which I set as dialog view.

Answer 1

You can set your style from the constructor, for instance:

progressBar = new ProgressBar(activity, null, android.R.attr.progressBarStyleSmall);

Where the third attribute is the style.

In your case, I think the error is to choose a wrong one. Just this.

Answer 2

I know this is a late answer, but i found a solution my self.

To create a progressbar with a style resource, you can do it by creating a layout file for the progressbar that have already set the style.

progressbar_default.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ProgressBar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   style="@style/ProgressDialogStyle.Default"/>

then you use the inflator from activity to create the progressbar.

mProgressBar =(ProgressBar) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.progessbar_default,null);
