How can I set the star color of the ratingbar?

Question

How can I set the star color of the ratingbar? I want yellow stars.

Answer 1

<RatingBar
        android:id="@+id/rating"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/RatingBar"/>

with theme in styles

<style name="RatingBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
<item name="colorControlNormal">@color/gray</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">@color/yellow</item>

Answer 2

You do need 3 star images (star_filled_show.png, star_half_show.png and star_empty_show.png) and one xml, that's all.

Put these 3 images into res/drawable.

Put there the following ratingbarstars.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"
android:drawable="@drawable/star_empty_show"/>

<item
android:id="@android:id/secondaryProgress"
android:drawable="@drawable/star_half_show"/>

<item
android:id="@android:id/progress"
android:drawable="@drawable/star_filled_show"/>
</layer-list>

Tell your ratingbar definition to use this drawable

<RatingBar android:progressDrawable="@drawable/ratingbarstars.xml"/>

Answer 3

try this one

RatingBar ratingBar = (RatingBar) findViewById(R.id.ratingBar);
LayerDrawable stars = (LayerDrawable) ratingBar.getProgressDrawable();
stars.getDrawable(2).setColorFilter(Color.YELLOW,PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

Answer 4

It's a little complicated at the mentioned blog, I've used a similar but simplier way. You do need 3 star images (red_star_full.png, red_star_half.png and red_star_empty.png) and one xml, that's all.

Put these 3 images at res/drawable.

Put there the following ratingbar_red.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" android:drawable="@drawable/red_star_empty" />
    <item android:id="@android:id/secondaryProgress" android:drawable="@drawable/red_star_half" />
    <item android:id="@android:id/progress" android:drawable="@drawable/red_star_full" />
</layer-list>

and, finally, tell your ratingbar definition to use this, i.e.

<RatingBar android:progressDrawable="@drawable/ratingbar_red"/>

That's it.
