How to set ratingbar style from programmatically?

Question

I don't see any method like setStyle for class RatingBar. How can I set the rating style from code?

NOT a duplicate. A ratingbar has different properties and functionality. Things like setting the star images, star height, etc WILL NOT be answered by that question. — StackOverflowed, May 23 '12 at 20:30

This works for me (source):

RatingBar rating =
  new RatingBar(context, null, android.R.attr.ratingBarStyleSmall);

You need to set it in xml file! If you like to change it on the run, you can have two different View-s (rb) and switch them in the program (add/remove from layout) or use rb1.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE) and rb2.setVisibility(View.GONE);

<RatingBar 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:id="@+id/rb1"
    style="?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall"
    android:clickable="false" android:numStars="5">
</RatingBar>

If you are programmatically creating the RatingBar as follows the

RatingBar rating = new RatingBar(context, null, android.R.attr.ratingBarStyleSmall);

then don't for get to add

rating.setIsIndicator(false);

else the touch will not work on RatingBar.

The android.R.attr.ratingBarStyleSmall gives you very small stars if you want to have a slightly bigger stars use android.R.attr.ratingBarStyleIndicator
