Change progressbar color through CODE ONLY in Android

Question

I have a progressBar using the ProgressBar class.

Just doing this:

progressBar = new ProgressBar(this, null, android.R.attr.progressBarStyleHorizont         


        

Answer 1

In the case that you need to tint the background and the progress bar in different colors.

progress_drawable.xml

Its possible, programmatically, to decompound its layer-list items, and tint them separately:

LayerDrawable progressBarDrawable = (LayerDrawable) progressBar.getProgressDrawable();
Drawable backgroundDrawable = progressBarDrawable.getDrawable(0);
Drawable progressDrawable = progressBarDrawable.getDrawable(1);

backgroundDrawable.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(this.getContext(), R.color.white), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
progressDrawable.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(this.getContext(), R.color.red), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
