How to change progress bar's progress color in

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 (not XML)?

Answer 1

ProgressBar freeRamPb = findViewById(R.id.free_ram_progress_bar);

freeRamPb.getProgressDrawable().setColorFilter(
Color.BLUE, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);

Answer 2

I'm sorry that it's not the answer, but what's driving the requirement setting it from code ? And .setProgressDrawable should work if it's defined correctly

<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="@color/progress_start"
                android:endColor="@color/progress_end"
                android:angle="270" 
            />
        </shape>
    </clip>
</item>

</layer-list>

Answer 3

Use the android.support.v4.graphics.drawable.DrawableCompat:

            Drawable progressDrawable = progressBar.getIndeterminateDrawable();
            if (progressDrawable  != null) {
                Drawable mutateDrawable = progressDrawable.mutate();
                DrawableCompat.setTint(mutateDrawable, primaryColor);
                progressBar.setProgressDrawable(mutateDrawable);
            }

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

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));

Answer 6

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!
