Using Rating Bar in android....

/**
* Demonstrates how to use a rating bar
*/
public class RatingBar1 extends Activity implements RatingBar.OnRatingBarChangeListener {
RatingBar mSmallRatingBar;
RatingBar mIndicatorRatingBar;
TextView mRatingText;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.ratingbar_1);

mRatingText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.rating);

// We copy the most recently changed rating on to these indicator-only
// rating bars
mIndicatorRatingBar = (RatingBar) findViewById(R.id.indicator_ratingbar);
mSmallRatingBar = (RatingBar) findViewById(R.id.small_ratingbar);

// The different rating bars in the layout. Assign the listener to us.
((RatingBar)findViewById(R.id.ratingbar1)).setOnRatingBarChangeListener(this);
((RatingBar)findViewById(R.id.ratingbar2)).setOnRatingBarChangeListener(this);
}

public void onRatingChanged(RatingBar ratingBar, float rating, boolean fromTouch) {
final int numStars = ratingBar.getNumStars();
mRatingText.setText(
getString(R.string.ratingbar_rating) + " " + rating + "/" + numStars);

// Since this rating bar is updated to reflect any of the other rating
// bars, we should update it to the current values.
if (mIndicatorRatingBar.getNumStars() != numStars) {
mIndicatorRatingBar.setNumStars(numStars);
mSmallRatingBar.setNumStars(numStars);
}
if (mIndicatorRatingBar.getRating() != rating) {
mIndicatorRatingBar.setRating(rating);
mSmallRatingBar.setRating(rating);
}
final float ratingBarStepSize = ratingBar.getStepSize();
if (mIndicatorRatingBar.getStepSize() != ratingBarStepSize) {
mIndicatorRatingBar.setStepSize(ratingBarStepSize);
mSmallRatingBar.setStepSize(ratingBarStepSize);
}
}

}

I forget to paste this layout xml file ....


<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingLeft="10dip"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<RatingBar android:id="@+id/ratingbar1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:numStars="3"
android:rating="2.5" />

<RatingBar android:id="@+id/ratingbar2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:numStars="5"
android:rating="2.25" />

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dip">

<TextView android:id="@+id/rating"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

<RatingBar android:id="@+id/small_ratingbar"
style="?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dip"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" />

</LinearLayout>

<RatingBar android:id="@+id/indicator_ratingbar"
style="?android:attr/ratingBarStyleIndicator"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dip"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" />

</LinearLayout>


for reference we can see this in API-Demos...
