A material style progress wheel compatible with 2.3
I needed to keep a consistent (or as close as possible) look in an app across all Android Versions. The progress wheel is quite cool in Lollipop, and pretty horrible on Gingerbread.
So I created this. This view uses Progress Wheel as a base, but has been almost completely rewritten (the original view uses handlers for updating the wheel).
This is how it looks:
You can create your own progress wheel in xml like this (remeber to add xmlns:wheel="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"):
<com.pnikosis.materialishprogress.ProgressWheel
android:id="@+id/progress_wheel"
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_height="80dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
wheel:barColor="#5588FF"
wheel:progressIndeterminate="true" />Or in code:
ProgressWheel wheel = new ProgressWheel(context);
wheel.setBarColor(Color.BLUE);
...For making the wheel indeterminate, just call the spin() method. If you set a progress value, the whell will stop spinning.
You have two methods for setting the progress:
progressWheel.setProgress(float value)
Sets the value, and the wheel will smoothly animate to that value. The speed of the animation is defined by the spinSpeed (can be set with setSpinSpeed, which number is the number of full turns per second)
progressWheel.setProgressImmediate(float value)
Sets the value, and the wheel will instantly move to that value
In case you want the spinning wheel to fill the whole layout instead of having a fixed size, you can use fillRadius.
<com.pnikosis.materialishprogress.ProgressWheel
android:id="@+id/progress_wheel"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
wheel:barColor="#5588FF"
wheel:progressIndeterminate="true"
wheel:fillRadius="true" />This way, the wheel will be as big as the parent layout. Be warned though, if the parentlayout is not square, the wheel will become an oval.
