Question

I have the following XML:

Answer 1

Assuming that you want to have access to them through Java code after they are loaded as a Drawable in your app, you should be able to do something like the following:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    final LayerDrawable ld = (LayerDrawable) getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.my_drawable);
    final ClipDrawable d1 = (ClipDrawable) ld.findDrawableByLayerId(R.id.customPlayerProgress);
    final ClipDrawable d2 = (ClipDrawable) ld.findDrawableByLayerId(R.id.customPlayerProgressSecondary);

    /* modify ld, d1 and d2 by calling their methods here */
}

Also look at this for some more ideas.

You may be familiar with DOM. You just need to modify the change and then save the file.

You can't change generated XML files at run-time.
