Android: Change color of ratingbar to golden [duplicate]
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/lightGrey</item> <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/duskYellow</item></style>
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);
