Step 4

Now, open your project and you will go to activity_main.xml and afterwards, you will build the design. You should choose toolbox and if you want some options (ProgressBar(small),ProgressBar(large), button), the drag and drop method is there to help.

Step 5

Here, you need to build on the design and write .XML code.

activity_main.xml code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context="xyz.rvconstructions.www.progresbarapp.MainActivity">
<Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="start" android:id="@+id/button" android:padding="10dp" android:background="#ee00ff" android:textColor="#fff" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<ProgressBar style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/progressBar" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />
</RelativeLayout>

Step 6

Now, you will go to MainActivity.java page and build the Java code.

First of all, you will declare a file, which is an extension file.

android

Now, we can see the MainActivity.java code.

package xyz.rvconstructions.www.progresbarapp;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final ProgressBar firstProgressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
Button startButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
startButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
firstProgressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
});
}
}

Step 7

Here, you will go to run it and select Run-> Run app option.

android

Here, you will choose Emulator or the devices and it is Nokia Nokia _X.

Step 8

Here, you can see the output.

android

You will see that ProgressBar(Normal) output Window.

android

Now, you will choose the ProgressBar (Horizontal) and then you can see that horizontal xml.code

<ProgressBar android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/progressBar" android:background="#fff700" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:max="100" android:progress="50" style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal" android:padding="20dp" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />

Now, you will run and afterwards, you can see the output given below.
