Android RatingBar showing more than 5 stars

android

Solution

Try to set max value for your `RatingBar` Like Below

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/active_bg" >

    <RatingBar
            android:id="@+id/rating"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            style="?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall"
            android:numStars="5"
            android:stepSize="0.1"
            android:isIndicator="true" />

</RelativeLayout>

create an xml file in your layout file and set this as the content

Change your `showDialog` function like this

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.***your_xml_name***));
editor.setView(layout);
editor.show();

Problem

I want to show a rating bar via an alert dialog in my android app. The problem I am facing is that depending upon the width of the screen, the ratingbar shows more than 5 stars(upto 10) in landscape mode and the function setNumStars() has no effect. There are posts already dealing with this issue but they deal with a ratingbar whose laout is defined statically while I am creating it dynamically. How to solve this problem? ``` public class MainActivity extends Activity { private Button launchButton; //Rating dialog private AlertDialog.Builder rater; private RatingBar ratingBar; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); launchButton =(Button)findViewById(R.id.ratingButton); launchButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub //Here the alert dialog will be launched showRatingDialog(); } }); //Setting up rating dialog rater = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); rater.setTitle("This is the rating dialog"); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu); return true; } public void showRatingDialog() { ratingBar = (RatingBar)findViewById(R.id.ratingStars); rater.setNegativeButton("Abbrechen", null); rater.setView(ratingBar); rater.show(); } } ``` I have tried using static layout for the ratingbar but when I do this and try to display the ratingbar via an alert dialog, no stars are shown. Here is the layout file for rating bar: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <RatingBar android:id="@+id/ratingStars" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:numStars="5" android:stepSize="1" /> </LinearLayout> ```
