Android: Change color of ratingbar to golden [duplicate]

Answer 1

My use case was to show different colors for different ratings. For example :

1- Red
2- Orange
3- Yellow
4- Light Green
5- Dark Green

---

Solution :

ratingBar.setOnRatingBarChangeListener(new RatingBar.OnRatingBarChangeListener() {

  @Override
  public void onRatingChanged(final RatingBar ratingBar, final float rating, final boolean fromUser) {
      setCurrentRating(rating);
    }
});

Then in your setCurrentRating() method :

 private void setCurrentRating(float rating) {
    LayerDrawable drawable = (LayerDrawable)rateOverall.getProgressDrawable();
    if(mContext!=null) {
          switch (Math.round(rating)) {
            case 1:
              setRatingStarColor(drawable.getDrawable(2), ContextCompat.getColor(mContext, R.color.dark_red));
              break;
            case 2:
              setRatingStarColor(drawable.getDrawable(2), ContextCompat.getColor(mContext, R.color.light_orange));
              break;
            case 3:
              setRatingStarColor(drawable.getDrawable(2), ContextCompat.getColor(mContext, R.color.light_yellow));
              break;
            case 4:
              setRatingStarColor(drawable.getDrawable(2), ContextCompat.getColor(mContext, R.color.light_green_review));
              break;
            case 5:
              setRatingStarColor(drawable.getDrawable(2), ContextCompat.getColor(mContext, R.color.dark_green));
              break;
          }
      setRatingStarColor(drawable.getDrawable(1), ContextCompat.getColor(mContext, R.color.transparent));
      setRatingStarColor(drawable.getDrawable(0), ContextCompat.getColor(mContext, R.color.light_grey_payment));

    }
  }

Then in your setRatingStarColor() method:

   private void setRatingStarColor(Drawable drawable, @ColorInt int color)
  {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
    {
      DrawableCompat.setTint(drawable, color);
    }
    else
    {
      drawable.setColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
    }
  }

Thanks to this answer which helped me solve this. Hope it helps someone !

Answer 2

The simplest solution I have found is changing the color definition for the color "colorAccent" in the color.xml. That's entire magic without further coding.

Answer 3

From XML

android:progressTint="#ffff8800"

Programmatically:

Drawable drawableReview = bar.getProgressDrawable();
drawableReview.setColorFilter(Color.parseColor("#ffff8800"), 
PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

Answer 4

try this,

You do need 3 star images (red_star_full.png, red_star_half.png and red_star_empty.png) and one xml file. If you want to golden star then use golden star image. this is for red star.

you can put ratingbar_color.xml in res/drawable.

<?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 in rating bar definition use following.

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

Answer 5

As you mentioned that you want to change the star color without using the drawable. You can do it by few lines of code as below.

RatingBar ratingBar = (RatingBar) findViewById(R.id.ratingBar);
Drawable drawable = ratingBar.getProgressDrawable();
drawable.setColorFilter(Color.parseColor("#0064A8"),PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

Answer 6

If you are running on kitkat that showing by default blue star instead yellow and golden then add this line : style="@style/Base.Widget.AppCompat.RatingBar.Small"
