Android: Change color of ratingbar to golden

Question

I want to change color of rating bar to golden.
I dont want to customize the stars, i just want to change the color for API 16 or above
I have tried following solutions but none of them worked out for me

1.    

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

2.

android:progressDrawable="@color/golden" in XML

Answer 1

This option is now included in the AppCompat library. The AppCompat version of the RatingBar is used automatically.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/widget/AppCompatRatingBar.html

Example (from my own app):

<RatingBar
    android:id="@+id/rating"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:numStars="5"
    android:stepSize="1"
    android:theme="@style/RatingBar"/>

With theme:

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

Answer 2

On API 21 and higher, you can change the color of the filled stars with

     android:progressTint="@color/color"

and the color of the stroke with

     android:progressBackgroundTint="@color/color"

Answer 3

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 4

My task was change color of Rating Bar to the app's primary color for Android >=14 SDK. I've solved this problem in code and in xml file.

 mRatingBar = (RatingBar)view.findViewById(R.id.ratingBar);
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        try {
            Drawable progressDrawable = mRatingBar.getProgressDrawable();
            if (progressDrawable != null) {
                DrawableCompat.setTint(progressDrawable, ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), R.color.colorPrimary));
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

And in xml file

        <RatingBar
            android:id="@+id/ratingBar"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:backgroundTint="@color/colorPrimary"
            android:numStars="5"
            android:progressTint="@color/colorPrimary"
            android:rating="0"
            android:secondaryProgressTint="@android:color/transparent"
            android:stepSize="1" />

Answer 5

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 6

RatingBar ratingreview; 
ratingreview=(RatingBar)v.findViewById(R.id.ratingreview); 
ratingreview.setRating(Float.parseFloat(objrating)); 
Drawable drawable = ratingreview.getProgressDrawable(); 
drawable.setColorFilter(Color.parseColor("#6A9A28"), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

Answer 7

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 8

Simple solution, use AppCompatRatingBar and use below code

ratingbar.setProgressTintList(ColorStateList.valueOf(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.colorAccent)));

Answer 9

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 10

Use this code to get over the line

Drawable drawableReview = writeReviewRatingBar.getProgressDrawable();
        drawableReview.setColorFilter(Color.parseColor("#FFFDD433"), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

Answer 11

From XML

android:progressTint="#ffff8800"

Programmatically:

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