How to change progress bar's progress color in Android

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

Answer 1

as per some of the suggestions, you CAN specify a shape and clipdrawable with a colour, then set it. I have this working programatically. This is how I do it..

First make sure you import the drawable library..

import android.graphics.drawable.*;

Then use the code similar to below;

ProgressBar pg = (ProgressBar)row.findViewById(R.id.progress);
final float[] roundedCorners = new float[] { 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 };
pgDrawable = new ShapeDrawable(new RoundRectShape(roundedCorners, null,null));
String MyColor = "#FF00FF";
pgDrawable.getPaint().setColor(Color.parseColor(MyColor));
ClipDrawable progress = new ClipDrawable(pgDrawable, Gravity.LEFT, ClipDrawable.HORIZONTAL);
pg.setProgressDrawable(progress);   
pg.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(android.R.drawable.progress_horizontal));
pg.setProgress(45);
