Im searching for an android gui-library with more components i could use in my app.

Example:

A microcontroller sends the rpm of a motor (via bluetooth) to my smartphone. And i want to use my smartphone in order to show the received rpm in progressbar-like element. But the normal progressbar looks ugly, and i would have to progressbar.setClickable(false); .

As i said before Im searching a library with more gui-elements(optional: i could modify, customize the outward appearance on my own)

Do anybody of you know about such a library ?

Thanks so far.

If you're just concerned about the external appearance of your GUI elements, I don't think there's any support for different UI elements than the ones provided. However, have you looked into a universal Theme and style for your application?

Here are some excerpts from that document:

A style is a collection of properties that specify the look and format for a View or window. A style can specify properties such as height, padding, font color, font size, background color, and much more. A style is defined in an XML resource that is separate from the XML that specifies the layout.

A theme is a style applied to an entire Activity or application, rather than an individual View (as in the example above). When a style is applied as a theme, every View in the Activity or application will apply each style property that it supports. For example, you can apply the same CodeFont style as a theme for an Activity and then all text inside that Activity will have green monospace font.

Here are some resources which talk about themes:

Let me know if that's what you wanted. Themes give you almost infinite possibilities to modify outwards appearance.
