Android Question Which progress bar?

[App Dude]

I need a progress bar that's cross platform, and where I can set the bar color, background color, and bar thickness. Non animated.
- The basic ProgressBar view does not let me set the bar color (unless I'm doing something wrong).
- The B4XProgressBar looks like what I need, but I can't find it in the Designer: Add Views->CustomView selections (though it's there in the zipped example). Was this removed recently?
- AnotherProgressBar is not doing what I need ... I've tried setting the value, but the progress doesn't change. And I can't figure out how to stop the animated stripes. I saw a post where that progress bar's code should be available, but I can't find the code in the Program Files (x86) -> Anywhere Software -> Basic4android -> Libraries folder. Should I be looking elsewhere?

Any guidance as to which will work for me, and where to find it, or some documentation for it?
Thanks.

B4XProgressBar is a Class module ... you can just add the module to your project, or possibly compile it to a library.

[B4X] [XUI] B4XProgressBar - cross platform progress bar

A cross platform progress bar with built-in animation. Similar to: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-xui-custom-view-circularprogressbar.81604/#content You can change the colors, thickness and orientation.

That's the post where I found it, but haven't found it in the available views in the designer. However, I was able to copy the view in the designer (from the example) into my layout, and copy the class from the example. I'll find out soon if it works. But I don't feel like this is the correct way to do this, is it?

I got the basic prog bar working... cool. Now I have to figure out customizing it.

I managed to get colors changed, etc, so all is good now. But what's the right way to do this? Shouldn't I be able to get this from just including the library and then being able to select it from the available views in the designer?

Yes. It is implemented as a custom view.
