How to create a horizontal loading progress bar?

Question

When uninstalling an android application, or do some configuration, there will show such a horizontal progress bar, like following picture:

progress bar

It's not the same style like @android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal.

How to use it in my own application?

Just add a STYLE line and your progress becomes horizontal:

<ProgressBar
        style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/progress"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"      
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"      
        android:max="100" 
        android:progress="45"/>

It works but not dynamic horizontal bar ... need it constant on progress 45 – Tarit Ray Aug 24 '17 at 06:55
+1 because this is the first option that worked for me. How do I set the progress color (not background)? – Taslim Oseni Jan 19 '19 at 07:47

@TaslimOseni you can set progress bar color by progress.setProgressTintList(ColorStateList.valueOf(Color.GREEN)); – Akash kumar Jul 24 '20 at 19:14

It is Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal on my phone, if I set android:indeterminate="true"

Also, be sure to set height to `wrap_content` (or something bigger), I've lost almost an hour to figure out why the progress bar wasn't showing... -.- – milosmns Dec 18 '14 at 12:26

For using the new progress bar

style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"

for the old grey color progress bar use

style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal"

in this one you have the option of changing the height by setting minHeight

The complete XML code is:

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/pbProcessing"
    style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_below="@+id/tvProcessing"
    android:indeterminateOnly="true"/>

indeterminateOnly is set to true for getting indeterminate horizontal progress bar

What's the difference between the two styles? – TWiStErRob May 21 '16 at 22:06 — TWiStErRob, May 21 '16 at 22:06

Progress Bar in Layout

<ProgressBar 
    android:id="@+id/download_progressbar"
    android:layout_width="200dp"
    android:layout_height="24dp"
    android:background="@drawable/download_progress_bg_track"
    android:progressDrawable="@drawable/download_progress_style"
    style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
    android:indeterminate="false"
    android:indeterminateOnly="false" />

download_progress_style.xml

<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:id="@android:id/progress">
        <scale 
          android:useIntrinsicSizeAsMinimum="true" 
          android:scaleWidth="100%" 
          android:drawable="@drawable/store_download_progress" />
    </item>
</layer-list>

store_download_progress.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <solid android:color="#ff207d94" />
</shape>

Now you can create it easily using LinearProgressIndicator from the material design with a lot of customization for example

<com.google.android.material.progressindicator.LinearProgressIndicator
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:indeterminate="true" />

Check MaterialDesign link for more information and code examples
