I want to create a Circluar Determinate ProgressBar, the kind which shows the Progress in the center of the Bar. Is there any default way to create this, or will i have to create my own custom one.

I have written detailed example on Android circular progress bar here on my blog demonuts.com You can also fond full source code and explanation there.
Here's how I made circular progressbar with percentage inside circle in pure code without any library.
first create a drawable file called circular.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@android:id/secondaryProgress">
<shape
android:innerRadiusRatio="6"
android:shape="ring"
android:thicknessRatio="20.0"
android:useLevel="true">
<gradient
android:centerColor="#999999"
android:endColor="#999999"
android:startColor="#999999"
android:type="sweep" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:id="@android:id/progress">
<rotate
android:fromDegrees="270"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:toDegrees="270">
<shape
android:innerRadiusRatio="6"
android:shape="ring"
android:thicknessRatio="20.0"
android:useLevel="true">
<rotate
android:fromDegrees="0"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:toDegrees="360" />
<gradient
android:centerColor="#00FF00"
android:endColor="#00FF00"
android:startColor="#00FF00"
android:type="sweep" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
</layer-list>
Now in your activity_main.xml
add following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@color/dialog"
tools:context="com.example.parsaniahardik.progressanimation.MainActivity">
<ProgressBar
android:id="@+id/circularProgressbar"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:indeterminate="false"
android:max="100"
android:progress="50"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:progressDrawable="@drawable/circular"
android:secondaryProgress="100"
/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="90dp"
android:layout_height="90dp"
android:background="@drawable/whitecircle"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tv"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="25%"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:textColor="@color/colorPrimaryDark"
android:textSize="20sp" />
</RelativeLayout>
In activity_main.xml
I have used one circular image with white background to show white background around percentage. Here is the image:
You can change color of this image to set custom color around percentage text.
Now finally add following code to MainActivity.java
:
import android.content.res.Resources;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.animation.DecelerateInterpolator;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
int pStatus = 0;
private Handler handler = new Handler();
TextView tv;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Resources res = getResources();
Drawable drawable = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.circular);
final ProgressBar mProgress = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.circularProgressbar);
mProgress.setProgress(0); // Main Progress
mProgress.setSecondaryProgress(100); // Secondary Progress
mProgress.setMax(100); // Maximum Progress
mProgress.setProgressDrawable(drawable);
/* ObjectAnimator animation = ObjectAnimator.ofInt(mProgress, "progress", 0, 100);
animation.setDuration(50000);
animation.setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator());
animation.start();*/
tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv);
new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
while (pStatus < 100) {
pStatus += 1;
handler.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mProgress.setProgress(pStatus);
tv.setText(pStatus + "%");
}
});
try {
// Sleep for 200 milliseconds.
// Just to display the progress slowly
Thread.sleep(8); //thread will take approx 1.5 seconds to finish
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}).start();
}
}
If you want to make horizontal progressbar, follow this link, it has many valuable examples with source code:

2why is it so much of extra spacing outside progressbar? How do I reduce it – Prabs Jul 20 '20 at 08:56

1changed the from `android:innerRadiusRatio="6"` to `android:innerRadiusRatio="2.35"` it's perfect with almost no extra space – viveksuggu Aug 28 '20 at 16:25

First add a progress_circle.xml to your res/drawable directory like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:drawable="@drawable/progress_circular_background"/>
<item>
<shape
android:innerRadiusRatio="3.4"
android:shape="ring"
android:thicknessRatio="6.0" >
<gradient
android:endColor="#ffffffff"
android:startColor="#ffffff"
android:type="sweep"
android:useLevel="true" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<rotate
android:drawable="@drawable/progress_particle"
android:fromDegrees="0"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:toDegrees="360" />
</item>
</layer-list>
I Googled image searched both "progress_particle.png" and "progress_circular_background.png" (with quotes) since the android default drawables for those were missing. You'll probably want to customize those but they'll do to get you started.
Then in your xml layout:
<ProgressBar
android:id="@+id/timer_progress"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:indeterminate="false"
android:max="60"
android:progressDrawable="@drawable/progress_circle" />
My max is 60, since I'm using it for a seconds timer, but you might have something different.
The trick is that you need to use style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal" even though it's a circular progress.

7what type of drawable is the progress_circle.xml? The one you provided is not a complete file, it needs an upper level object to be part of – RyanCheu Dec 20 '12 at 19:09
-
Fixed. Copy paste didn't show the enclosing tags for some reason, but they were there! – Dec 20 '12 at 20:21

3Could ring shape (not progress particle) start filling from -90 degrees (hour 12)? – stepic Mar 07 '13 at 16:52

1I have one small question. There are drawable-ldpi,drawable-hdpi,etc. Which folder should I use for this xml? – Bagusflyer May 16 '13 at 02:42
-
4@bagusflyer put it into folder named "drawable", xml files are dpi independent resources. – kaupov May 21 '13 at 07:01

4`style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"` is not necessary, `android:indeterminateOnly="false"` is. – Eugen Pechanec May 14 '15 at 14:38

Drawables can be dowloaded here: https://github.com/michelou/android-examples/tree/master/android-sdk/ApiDemos/res/drawable-hdpi – Bill Mar 27 '18 at 15:16
For the determinate part of your question, material design library now supports determinate circular progress bars:
<com.google.android.material.progressindicator.CircularProgressIndicator
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
For more info refer here.
Other answers may help on how to insert the progress label in the center.

Anybody knows how to implement it... The documentation doesn't help. Just can't get it to work.... – who-aditya-nawandar Jun 02 '21 at 19:33
-
@whoadityanawandar I've not used these myself but if by implementing you mean make the progress bar determinate in code, the documentation suggests this: `int progress = getLoadingProgress() indicator.setProgressCompat(progress, true)` – Mahozad Jun 05 '21 at 05:28
-
Thanks, although this still looks incomplete, I mean how do you set the timer for it and all... – who-aditya-nawandar Jun 05 '21 at 10:38

Thank buddy :D I am asking myself why we need to custom a very common element like progress bar – Thân Hoàng Jul 13 '21 at 03:28
An example of a determinate circular progress indicator
<com.google.android.material.progressindicator.CircularProgressIndicator
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:progress="75"
app:indicatorColor="#FF0000"
app:indicatorSize="100dp"
app:trackColor="#D3D3D3"
app:trackThickness="10dp" />
