android - Spacing between the stars of a rating bar? -

ho can set spacing beween stars? thats ratingbar:

ratingbar = (ratingbar) inflater.inflate(r.layout.ratingbar, null); ratingbar.setlayoutparams(new layoutparams(layoutparams.wrap_content, layoutparams.wrap_content)); 

the layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ratingbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     style="@style/mystyle" android:layout_alignparentright="true"     android:layout_height="19dp" android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:numstars="5"> </ratingbar> 

the style:

 <style name="mystyle" parent="@android:style/widget.ratingbar">     <item name="android:progressdrawable">@drawable/android_r2_ratingstar_yellow</item>     <item name="android:indeterminatedrawable">@drawable/android_r2_ratingstar_grey</item>  </style> 

thanks, cheers

you have add padding png itself. while there known inset drawable (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/drawable-resource.html#inset) wrap drawable into, code 'tileify'-ing (as referred in android source code) doesn't handle case of drawable being inset drawable, , hence doesn't tile image.

here's tilefy method (in progressbar.java, ancestor ratingbar.java: https://gist.github.com/cyanogenmod/android_frameworks_base/blob/gingerbread/core/java/android/widget/progressbar.java)

private drawable tileify(drawable drawable, boolean clip) {      if (drawable instanceof layerdrawable) {         layerdrawable background = (layerdrawable) drawable;         final int n = background.getnumberoflayers();         drawable[] outdrawables = new drawable[n];          (int = 0; < n; i++) {             int id = background.getid(i);             outdrawables[i] = tileify(background.getdrawable(i),                     (id == r.id.progress || id == r.id.secondaryprogress));         }          layerdrawable newbg = new layerdrawable(outdrawables);          (int = 0; < n; i++) {             newbg.setid(i, background.getid(i));         }          return newbg;      } else if (drawable instanceof statelistdrawable) {         statelistdrawable in = (statelistdrawable) drawable;         statelistdrawable out = new statelistdrawable();         int numstates = in.getstatecount();         (int = 0; < numstates; i++) {             out.addstate(in.getstateset(i), tileify(in.getstatedrawable(i), clip));         }         return out;      } else if (drawable instanceof bitmapdrawable) {         final bitmap tilebitmap = ((bitmapdrawable) drawable).getbitmap();         if (msampletile == null) {             msampletile = tilebitmap;         }          final shapedrawable shapedrawable = new shapedrawable(getdrawableshape());          final bitmapshader bitmapshader = new bitmapshader(tilebitmap,                 shader.tilemode.repeat, shader.tilemode.clamp);         shapedrawable.getpaint().setshader(bitmapshader);          return (clip) ? new clipdrawable(shapedrawable, gravity.left,                 clipdrawable.horizontal) : shapedrawable;     }      return drawable; }
