How to change progress bar's progress color in Android

Question

I\'m using an horizontal progress bar in my Android application, and I want to change its progress color (which is Yellow by default). How can I do it using code

Answer 1

You can try to change your Styles, Themes, or using android:indeterminateTint="@color/yourColor" anywhere you want, but there's just one way o doing that will work on any Android SKD version:

If you progress bar is not indeterminate, please use:

progressBar.getProgressDrawable().setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.yourColor), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN );

If you progress bar is indeterminate, please use:

progressBar.getIndeterminateDrawable().setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), R.color.yourColor), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN );

It's sad that Android is such a mess!
