No resource found that matches the given name '@style/Widget.RatingBar.Small'

Question

I want to use a custom ratingbar. I did all the steps said here: http://android-helper.blogspot.com/2011/06/android-custom-ratingbar-example.html

The only problem is this:

No resource found that matches the given name '@style/Widget.RatingBar.Small'.

I've searched and some says that google restric it and do not allow to access this file anymore. I've tried to copy the style from android sdk but it's not a single file, it refers to some other drawable, I need to include them too.

Is there anyway to solve this problem? How can I use this widget? I need it to be small.

thanks

You need to create custom style for custom rating bar. You can try with this in your style.

  <resources>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light" />
<style name="foodRatingBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.RatingBar">
    <item name="android:progressDrawable">@drawable/star_rating_bar_full</item>
    <item name="android:minHeight">48dip</item>
    <item name="android:maxHeight">48dip</item>
</style>
</resources>

and your xml layout will be like this.

      <RatingBar
            android:id="@+id/ratingbar_default"
            style="@style/foodRatingBar"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
            android:numStars="5" />

in your code, use setOnratingbarchangelistener

        ratingBar_default
            .setOnRatingBarChangeListener(new  RatingBar.OnRatingBarChangeListener() {
                @Override
                public void onRatingChanged(RatingBar ratingBar,
                        float rating, boolean fromUser) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    ratingValue = String.valueOf(rating);
                    System.out.println(ratingValue);

                }
            });

Hope this will help you.
