From this tutorial    lt style name  CustomProgressBarHorizontal  parent  android Widget ProgressBar Horizontal  gt         lt item name  android progressDrawable  gt  drawable custom progress bar horizontal lt  item gt         lt item name  android minHeight  gt 10dip lt  item gt         lt item name  android maxHeight  gt 20dip lt  item gt   lt  style gt    Then simply apply the style to your progress bars or better  override the default style in your theme to style all of your app s progress bars automatically   The difference you are seeing in the screenshots is because the phones emulators are using a difference Android version  latest is the theme from ICS  Holo   top is the original theme

As mentioned in other answers  it looks like you are setting the style of your progress bar to use Holo Light   style   android style Widget Holo Light ProgressBar Horizontal    If this is running on your phone  its probably a 3 0  device  However your emulator looks like its using a  default  progress bar    style   android style Widget ProgressBar Horizontal    Perhaps you changed the style to the  default  progress bar in between creating the screen captures  Unfortunately 2 x devices won t automatically default back to the  default  progress bar if your projects uses a Holo Light progress bar  It will just crash   If you truly are using the default progress bar then setting the max min height as suggested will work fine  However  if you are using the Holo Light  or Holo  bar then setting the max min height will not work  Here is a sample output from setting max min height to 25 and 100 dip   max min set to 25 dip    max min set to 100 dip    You can see that the underlying drawable  progress primary holo light 9 png  isn t scaling as you d expect  The reason for this is that the 9-patch border is only scaling the top and bottom few pixels     The horizontal area bordered by the single-pixel  black border  green arrows  is the part that gets stretched when Android needs to resize the  png vertically  The area in between the two red arrows won t get stretched vertically   The best solution to fix this is to change the 9patch  png s to stretch the bar and not the  canvas area  and then create a custom progress bar xml to use these 9patches  Similarly described here  https   stackoverflow com a 18832349  Here is my implementation for just a non-indeterminant Holo Light ProgressBar  You ll have to add your own 9-patches for indeterminant and Holo ProgressBars  Ideally I should have removed the canvas area entirely  Instead I left it but set the  bar  area stretchable  https   github com tir38 ScalingHoloProgressBar

User · Answer

Many solution here with lot of upvotes didn t work for me  even the accepted answer  I solved it by setting the scaleY  but isn t a good solution if you need too much height because the drawable comes pixelated   Programmatically     progressBar setScaleY 2f     XML Layout     android scaleY  2
