After a lot of research I found the best solution to reduce the size of custom rating bars is to get the size of progress drawable in certain sizes as mentioned below    xxhdpi -  48 48 px  xhdpi  -  36 36 px  hdpi   -  24 24 px  And in style put the minheight and maxheight  as 16 dp for all Resolution   Let me know if this doesn t help you to get a best small size rating bars as these sizes I found very compatible and equivalent to ratingbar small style attribute

The default RatingBar widget is sorta  lame   The source makes reference to style   android attr ratingBarStyleIndicator  in addition to the   android attr ratingBarStyleSmall  that you re already familiar with   ratingBarStyleIndicator is slightly smaller but it s still pretty ugly and the comments note that these styles  don t support interaction    You re probably better-off rolling your own   There s a decent-looking guide at http   kozyr zydako net 2010 05 23 pretty-ratingbar  showing how to do this    I haven t done it myself yet  but will be attempting in a day or so    Good luck   p s  Sorry  was going to post a link to the source for you to poke around in but I m a new user and can t post more than 1 URL   If you dig your way through the source tree  it s located at frameworks base core java android widget RatingBar java

Just use   android scaleX  0 5  android scaleY  0 5    Change the scale factor according to your need   In order to scale without creating a padding on the left also add  android transformPivotX  0dp

I found an easier solution than I think given by the ones above and easier than rolling your own  I simply created a small rating bar  then added an onTouchListener to it  From there I compute the width of the click and determine the number of stars from that  Having used this several times  the only quirk I ve found is that drawing of a small rating bar doesn t always turn out right in a table unless I enclose it in a LinearLayout  looks right in the editor  but not the device   Anyway  in my layout                lt LinearLayout                 android layout width  wrap content                  android layout height  wrap content   gt                   lt RatingBar                     android id    id myRatingBar                      style   android attr ratingBarStyleSmall                      android layout width  wrap content                      android layout height  wrap content                      android numStars  5    gt               lt  LinearLayout gt    and within my activity       final RatingBar minimumRating    RatingBar findViewById R id myRatingBar       minimumRating setOnTouchListener new OnTouchListener                  public boolean onTouch View view  MotionEvent event                         float touchPositionX   event getX                float width   minimumRating getWidth                float starsf    touchPositionX   width    5 0f              int stars    int starsf   1              minimumRating setRating stars               return true                        I hope this helps someone else  Definitely easier than drawing one s own  although I ve found that also works  but I just wanted an easy use of stars
