Answer 1

I don't know if it will be useful anymore, but I made a custom library which allows you to change space beetwen stars programatically and in XML (among other stuff): SimpleRatingBar.

It features:

• Fully working android:layout_width: it can be set to wrap_content, match_parent or abritary dp.
• Arbitrary number of stars.
• Arbitrary step size.
• Size of stars can be controlled exactly or by setting a maximum size.
• Customizable colors in normal state (border, fill and background of stars and rating bar).
• Customizable colors in pressed state (border, fill and background of stars and rating bar).
• Customizable size separation between stars.
• Customizable border width of stars.
• Customizable stars corner radius.
• Allows to set OnRatingBarChangeListener
• Stars fill can be set to start from left to right or from right to left (RTL language support).
• AnimationBuilder integrated in the view to set rating programatically with animation.

Here is a preview of it.

In your case, you would just have to do:

ratingbar.setStarsSeparation(20, Dimension.DP);

or, for example, in pixels:

ratingbar.setStarsSeparation(100, Dimension.PX);

You can find it either in jcenter or in Maven Central. So in your build.gradle file just add to your dependencies:

compile 'com.iarcuschin:simpleratingbar:0.1.+'
