I have a scenario where i need to have a large number of progress bar drawables. I cant create xml resources for all of them because i want the user to choose a color that will
From the links provided by Rajesh and g00dy, i was able to come up with a solution.
public static Drawable createDrawable(Context context) {
ShapeDrawable shape = new ShapeDrawable();
shape.getPaint().setStyle(Style.FILL);
shape.getPaint().setColor(
context.getResources().getColor(R.color.transparent));
shape.getPaint().setStyle(Style.STROKE);
shape.getPaint().setStrokeWidth(4);
shape.getPaint().setColor(
context.getResources().getColor(R.color.category_green_stroke));
ShapeDrawable shapeD = new ShapeDrawable();
shapeD.getPaint().setStyle(Style.FILL);
shapeD.getPaint().setColor(
context.getResources().getColor(R.color.category_green));
ClipDrawable clipDrawable = new ClipDrawable(shapeD, Gravity.LEFT,
ClipDrawable.HORIZONTAL);
LayerDrawable layerDrawable = new LayerDrawable(new Drawable[] {
clipDrawable, shape });
return layerDrawable;
}
This code will create a drawable that is visually similar to what the xml in my question creates.
