textview width is wrap content. But there is gap on both the side.
How to get rid of that ?

Neither i am looking to single line it. as i don’t want to miss any word it is showing.

Neither i am looking to left align it

Answer 1

style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"

Setting the weight of progressBar to 1 and width to 0dp you can get desired result but cannot guarantee that it will work in all screen dimensions

EDIT:

With the above changes, I was able to get the desired output.
