Android Question Make progressBar like this

Emme Developer · Mar 30, 2019

Hi to all, i'm trying to achieve this progressbar, but without success

Note that there is a panel background and another panel over it that simulates the progress. Issue in this code is that i must to know the background color of mask (white in this case), but i can't place this view over a not filled background.
I know there is the new view AnotherProgressBar made with bitmapcreator, but i don't understand how to achieve with this view a layout like mine.

This is the code, hope anyone can help me.
Thanks you

B4X:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    
    pnBackground.Initialize("")
    pnProgress.Initialize("")
    Activity.AddView(pnBackground,20dip,20dip,200dip,24dip)
    pnBackground.AddView(pnProgress,0,0,pnBackground.Width/2,pnBackground.Height)
    
    Dim cd As ColorDrawable
    cd.Initialize2(Colors.Transparent,24dip,2dip,Colors.Red)
    pnBackground.Background = cd
    
    pnProgress.Color = Colors.Red
    
    pnBackground.AddView(CreateMask(pnBackground, 35dip, Colors.White), 0, 0, pnBackground.Width, pnBackground.Height)
End Sub

Sub CreateMask (pnl As Panel, radius As Float, BackgroundColor As Int) As ImageView
    Dim bmp As Bitmap
    bmp.InitializeMutable(pnl.Width, pnl.Height)
    Dim cvs As Canvas
    cvs.Initialize2(bmp)
    cvs.DrawColor(BackgroundColor)
    Dim p As Path
    p.Initialize(0, 0)
    Dim jo As JavaObject = p
    Dim left = 0, top = 0, right = pnl.Width, bottom = pnl.Height As Float
    jo.RunMethod("addRoundRect", Array(left, top, right, bottom, radius, radius, "CW"))
    cvs.ClipPath(p)
    cvs.DrawColor(Colors.Transparent)
    Dim iv As ImageView
    iv.Initialize("")
    iv.Bitmap = bmp
    Return iv
End Sub

I did something similar, but just using plain old B4A stuff (four panels in the designer) and not using Java calls.

The four panels look like this (over the top of an olive-green background):

and when you layer them on top of each other, they look like this (with the olive-green background showing through at the corners):

I adjusted the colors so that you could see that the inner bit can be a different color to the outer border, but it is no problem if they are the same color as with your example.

The performance is great (just change the width of the inner rectangular panel) but you can't (easily) show super-low and super-high values, although you can show 0% (turn off both inner panels) and could show 100% (add another inner circular panel and put it on the righthand side).

I'm not proud of this kludge, but it works sufficiently well that I haven't gotten around to "doing it properly".

@Erel i saw two crossplatform progres bar, but the first has not round border, and in the second i was not able to change progress effect, i want to achieve something like my first post

You should use B4XCanvas or BitmapCreator to draw such progress bar. Should be quite simple.

Yes i tried with BitmapCreator, but without success. I can't make last part of bar when the border is rounded (for example at 97% value)

Post a screenshot to show the problem. Is it important for you that the right side will be a straight line?

Yes it's important, and it's my only problem to achieve what i want

Fill your bar with a rectangle to the correct percentage, then draw a circle (or a rounded rectangle with the corner radius = half your height) on the left-hand side of your bar on top of the rectangle; first in your back-ground color, then one final time with your fill color. This should give you your desired look to your left-hand edge.

Sorry but i don't understand how to achieve what you write if the percentage is more than 98% (for example). At higher value, rectangle has a diagonal greater than circle radius if circle has same dimension as rectangle

It is a mistake to create a new canvas each time. Create it once and reuse it.
