</LinearLayout>


 

Step 3: In your main activity add this code given below

Java




package com.shruti.gfglineprog;
 
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
 
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
 
import com.anton46.stepsview.StepsView;
import com.shruti.gfglineprog.databinding.ActivityMainBinding;
 
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
 
    ActivityMainBinding binding;
 
    String[] descriptionData={"C","C++","Java","DSA"};
 
    int current_state = 0;
 
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
 
        binding=ActivityMainBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
        setContentView(binding.getRoot());
 
        StepsView stepsView = binding.spb;
        stepsView.setLabels(descriptionData);
        stepsView.setBarColorIndicator(Color.BLACK);
        stepsView.setProgressColorIndicator(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorAccent));
        stepsView.setLabelColorIndicator(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorAccent));
        stepsView.setCompletedPosition(0);
        stepsView.drawView();
 
        binding.spb.setCompletedPosition(current_state);
 
        binding.btnUp.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if(current_state<(descriptionData.length-1)){
                    current_state=current_state+1;
                    binding.spb.setCompletedPosition(current_state).drawView();
                }
 
                Log.d("current_state = ",current_state+"");
            }
        });
 
        binding.btnDown.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if(current_state>0){
                    current_state=current_state-1;
                    binding.spb.setCompletedPosition(current_state).drawView();
                }
            }
        });
