Decrease the size of Rating Bar in Android 2.1

Question

I am currently working on a Mobile App project for Ford company, and I am a newbie in Java Android.

I am just wondering, is there any way to decrease the size of rating bar in Android 2.1?

I want to preserve more spaces for other buttons and edittexts.

Thank you in advance for you help

You could try setting style="?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall" but the documentation states:

The smaller RatingBar style ( ratingBarStyleSmall) and the larger indicator-only style (ratingBarStyleIndicator) do not support user interaction and should only be used as indicators

Rating Bar Style can be set. As the previous answer says, documentation says ratingBarStyleSmall is indicator-only style. But I found that I could set it as not an indicator using:-

android:isIndicator="false"

You can change the size of stars by changing the four attributes in style.xml, for e.g.:

 <style name="RatingBar_style" parent="@android:style/Widget.RatingBar">
    <item name="android:minHeight">30dp</item>
    <item name="android:maxHeight">30dp</item>
    <item name="android:height">25dp</item>
    <item name="android:width">25dp</item>
 </style>

minHeight and maxHeight act like canvas on which stars are placed Change the height and width attributes according to your requirement.
