In order to display a percentage text inside Android's progressbar, you will need to set up a <RelativeLayout>. Give the RelativeLayout parameters followed below:
android:layout_width="200dip" android:layout_height="30dip" android:padding="0dip" Then close your RelativeLayout. Inside your layout, insert your <ProgressBar> with following parameters: android:id="@+id/youridgoeshere" android:layout_width="200dip" android:layout_height="30dip" android:layout_centerInParent="true" style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal" android:indeterminateOnly="false" android:max="100" That's all for the progressbar, now on to the percentage text. Create a <TextView> inside your layout and give it the following parameters: android:"@+id/youridgoeshere" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:textColor="#000000" android:textStyle="bold" Close your TextView and there you have it!!! Your text should be centered horizontally and vertically inside your progressbar. The key is to set up a relative layout while keeping it the same width as the progress bar. Then using the parameter "centerInParent" keeps both the progress bar and textview in the center of the relative parent. Hope this helps out.
