How to change progress bar's progress color in Android
For a horizontal ProgressBar, you can use a ColorFilter
, too, like this:
progressBar.getProgressDrawable().setColorFilter( Color.RED, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
Note: This modifies the appearance of all progress bars in your app. To only modify one specific progress bar, do this:
Drawable progressDrawable = progressBar.getProgressDrawable().mutate();progressDrawable.setColorFilter(Color.RED, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);progressBar.setProgressDrawable(progressDrawable);
If progressBar is indeterminate then use getIndeterminateDrawable()
instead of getProgressDrawable()
.
Since Lollipop (API 21) you can set a progress tint:
progressBar.setProgressTintList(ColorStateList.valueOf(Color.RED));
This is not programmatically but I think it could help a lot of people anyway.
I tried a lot and the most efficient way was to add this lines to my ProgressBar in the .xml File:
android:indeterminate="true" android:indeterminateTintMode="src_atop" android:indeterminateTint="@color/secondary"
So in the end this code did it for me:
<ProgressBar android:id="@+id/progressBar" style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:layout_marginTop="50dp" android:layout_marginBottom="50dp" android:visibility="visible" android:indeterminate="true" android:indeterminateTintMode="src_atop" android:indeterminateTint="@color/secondary">
This solution works for API 21+
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
