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

THis is what i did. Worked.

ProgressBar:

<ProgressBar
            android:id="@+id/progressBar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="4"
            android:indeterminateDrawable="@drawable/progressdrawable"
           />

progressdrawable.xml:
Here use gradient to change colour as you like. And android:toDegrees="X" increse the value of X and progressbar rotate fast. Decrease and it rotate slow.Customize according to your needs.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
     <rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:duration="4000"
            android:fromDegrees="0"
            android:pivotX="50%"
            android:pivotY="50%"
            android:toDegrees="360" >

            <shape
                android:innerRadius="20dp"
                android:shape="ring"
                android:thickness="4dp"
                android:useLevel="false" >
                <size
                    android:height="48dp"
                    android:width="48dp" />

                <gradient
                    android:centerColor="#80ec7e2a"
                    android:centerY="0.5"
                    android:endColor="#ffec7e2a"
                    android:startColor="#00ec7e2a"
                    android:type="sweep"
                    android:useLevel="false" />
            </shape>

        </rotate>

Horizontal progress bar custom material style :

To change color of background and progress of horizontal progress bar.

<style name="MyProgressBar" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal">
    <item name="android:progressBackgroundTint">#69f0ae</item>
    <item name="android:progressTint">#b71c1c</item>
    <item name="android:minWidth">200dp</item>
</style>

Apply it to progress bar by setting style attribute, for custom material styles and custom progress bar check http://www.zoftino.com/android-progressbar-and-custom-progressbar-examples

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!

Answer 4

This solution worked for me :

<style name="Progressbar.White" parent="AppTheme">
    <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/white</item>
</style>

<ProgressBar
    android:layout_width="@dimen/d_40"
    android:layout_height="@dimen/d_40"
    android:indeterminate="true"
    android:theme="@style/Progressbar.White"/>

Answer 5

This works for me. It also works for lower version too. Add this to your syles.xml

<style name="ProgressBarTheme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>

And use it like this in xml

<ProgressBar
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:theme="@style/ProgressBarTheme"
   />

Here is the code for changing the color of ProgressBar by programatically.

ProgressBar progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.pb_listProgressBar);
int colorCodeDark = Color.parseColor("#F44336");
progressBar.setIndeterminateTintList(ColorStateList.valueOf(colorCodeDark));
