I have a progressBar using the ProgressBar class.
Just doing this:
progressBar = new ProgressBar(this, null, android.R.attr.progressBarStyleHorizontal); I need to change the color of that one, using input value like so:
int color = "red in RGB value".progressBar.setColor(color) or something like that...
I can't use an XML layout because the progress bar is customizable for users.
This will help much no need to do so much coding :)
ProgressBar spinner = new android.widget.ProgressBar( context, null, android.R.attr.progressBarStyle); spinner.getIndeterminateDrawable().setColorFilter(0xFFFF0000,android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY); As I found help on a topic here but can't remember the link, I'm posting my full solution which works great for my needs:
// Draw a simple progressBar from xml progressBar = new ProgressBar(this, null, android.R.attr.progressBarStyleHorizontal); // Convert the color (Decimal value) to HEX value: (e.g: #4b96a0) String color = colorDecToHex(75, 150, 160); // Define a shape with rounded corners final float[] roundedCorners = new float[] { 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 }; ShapeDrawable pgDrawable = new ShapeDrawable(new RoundRectShape(roundedCorners, null, null)); // Sets the progressBar color pgDrawable.getPaint().setColor(Color.parseColor(color)); // Adds the drawable to your progressBar ClipDrawable progress = new ClipDrawable(pgDrawable, Gravity.LEFT, ClipDrawable.HORIZONTAL); progressBar.setProgressDrawable(progress); // Sets a background to have the 3D effect progressBar.setBackgroundDrawable(Utils.getActivity().getResources() .getDrawable(android.R.drawable.progress_horizontal)); // Adds your progressBar to your layout contentLayout.addView(progressBar); And here is the code to convert DECIMAL color values to HEXADECIMAL:
public static String colorDecToHex(int p_red, int p_green, int p_blue) { String red = Integer.toHexString(p_red); String green = Integer.toHexString(p_green); String blue = Integer.toHexString(p_blue); if (red.length() == 1) { red = "0" + red; } if (green.length() == 1) { green = "0" + green; } if (blue.length() == 1) { blue = "0" + blue; } String colorHex = "#" + red + green + blue; return colorHex; } I think the last method is not that clean but it works well.
Hope this well help, too much time wasted on this progressbar.
It is possible to colorize the Progress bar by setting the color filter on the progress bar drawable:
Drawable drawable = progressBar.getProgressDrawable(); drawable.setColorFilter(new LightingColorFilter(0xFF000000, customColorInt)); In the case that you need to tint the background and the progress bar in different colors.
progress_drawable.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:id="@android:id/background"> <shape android:shape="rectangle" > <solid android:color="@color/white" /> </shape> </item> <item android:id="@android:id/progress"> <clip> <shape> <solid android:color="@color/green" /> </shape> </clip> </item> </layer-list> Its possible, programmatically, to decompound its layer-list items, and tint them separately:
LayerDrawable progressBarDrawable = (LayerDrawable) progressBar.getProgressDrawable(); Drawable backgroundDrawable = progressBarDrawable.getDrawable(0); Drawable progressDrawable = progressBarDrawable.getDrawable(1); backgroundDrawable.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(this.getContext(), R.color.white), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN); progressDrawable.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(this.getContext(), R.color.red), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN); Update
In newer versions of Android (21 works), you can change the color of a progressbar programmatically by just using setProgressTintList.
To set it red, use:
//bar is a ProgressBar bar.setProgressTintList(ColorStateList.valueOf(Color.RED)); This works for me with AppCompat: DrawableCompat.setTint(progressBar.getProgressDrawable(), tintColor);
I have given default color in xml by drawable.
I have changed it programatically.
activity_splasg.xml:
<ProgressBar android:id="@+id/splashProgressBar" android:progressDrawable="@drawable/splash_progress_drawable" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:max="100" android:progress="50" style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" /> splash_progress_drawable.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:id="@android:id/background"> <shape> <solid android:color="@android:color/transparent" /> </shape> </item> <item android:id="@android:id/progress"> <clip> <shape> <solid android:color="#e5c771" /> </shape> </clip> </item> </layer-list> Now How to change ProgressDrawable color programatically.
ProgressBar splashProgressBar = (ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.splashProgressBar); Drawable bgDrawable = splashProgressBar.getProgressDrawable(); bgDrawable.setColorFilter(Color.BLUE, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY); splashProgressBar.setProgressDrawable(bgDrawable); Hope this will help you.
This post is what you're looking for: How to change progress bar's progress color in Android
If you want the user to choose their own colors, just make multiple-drawable XML files for each color, and select them based on the user's choice.
progressbar.setIndeterminateTintList(ColorStateList.valueOf(Color.RED));
It only works above API 21
Layout = activity_main.xml:
<ProgressBar android:id="@+id/circle_progress_bar_middle" style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:max="100" android:rotation="-90" android:indeterminate="false" android:progressDrawable="@drawable/my_drawable_settings2" /> In Java Activity/Fragment:
ProgressBar myProgressBar = (ProgressBar) view.findViewById(R.id.circle_progress_bar_middle); myProgressBar.setProgressDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.my_drawable_settings1)); The my_drawable_settings1.xml file inside your drawable/mipmap folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <item android:id="@android:id/progress"> <shape android:innerRadius="55dp" android:shape="ring" android:thickness="9dp" android:useLevel="true"> <gradient android:startColor="#3594d1" android:endColor="@color/white" android:type="sweep" /> </shape> </item> </layer-list> Where my_drawable_settings1 and my_drawable_settings2.xml has different colors.
if you want to change color of progress bar programmatically then you copy past this code it is working 100%
mainProgressBar.getIndeterminateDrawable().setColorFilter(Color.GREEN, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);
