RelativeLayout>  

Activity class

Let's write the code to display the rating of the user.

File: MainActivity.java

package com.example.rating;  
import android.os.Bundle;  
import android.app.Activity;  
import android.view.Menu;  
import android.view.View;  
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;  
import android.widget.Button;  
import android.widget.RatingBar;  
import android.widget.Toast;  
public class MainActivity extends Activity {  
    RatingBar ratingbar1;  
    Button button;  
    @Override  
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
        addListenerOnButtonClick();  
    }  

    public void addListenerOnButtonClick(){  
        ratingbar1=(RatingBar)findViewById(R.id.ratingBar1);  
        button=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);  
        //Performing action on Button Click  
        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){  

            @Override  
            public void onClick(View arg0) {  
                //Getting the rating and displaying it on the toast  
                String rating=String.valueOf(ratingbar1.getRating());  
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), rating, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();  
            }  

        });  
    }  

    @Override  
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {  
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.  
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);  
        return true;  
    }  
}
