Is there any way to change the color of the ProgressBar
residing in the app widget at runtime?
This is how the ProgressBar
progress value is updated:
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews( context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget );
views.setProgressBar( R.id.progressbar, 100, 10, false );
...
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget( widgetID, views );
Unfortunately, the RemoteViews
class does not allow us to set a color filter or even a different progress drawable for ProgressBar
.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
I have encountered with similar problem to tint ProgressBar inside custom notification layout.
I have managed to do it using reflection API:
Method setTintMethod = null;
try {
setTintMethod = RemoteViews.class.getMethod("setProgressTintList", int.class, ColorStateList.class);
} catch (SecurityException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (setTintMethod != null) {
try {
setTintMethod.invoke(mYourRemoteViews, R.id.your_progress_bar_id, ColorStateList.valueOf(yourColor));
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Add this line in the ProgressBar XML:
android:progressDrawable="@drawable/progressbar"
And now Create the progressbar.xml 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">
<shape>
<corners android:radius="5dip" />
<gradient
android:startColor="#ff9d9e9d"
android:centerColor="#ff5a5d5a"
android:centerY="0.75"
android:endColor="#ff747674"
android:angle="270"
/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:id="@android:id/secondaryProgress">
<clip>
<shape>
<corners android:radius="5dip" />
<gradient
android:startColor="#80ffd300"
android:centerColor="#80ffb600"
android:centerY="0.75"
android:endColor="#a0ffcb00"
android:angle="270"
/>
</shape>
</clip>
</item>
<item
android:id="@android:id/progress"
>
<clip>
<shape>
<corners
android:radius="5dip" />
<gradient
android:startColor="#33FF33"
android:endColor="#008000"
android:angle="270" />
</shape>
</clip>
</item>
</layer-list>
