Question

I would like to know how I can change indeterminate ProgressBar color from basis white/grey color to black ? When I change the indeterminateDrawable

Answer 1

actually all u need to do (for both cirle and bar) is create an xml file in drawable as shown below...... progress_spinner_001 points to whatever image u want to animate and duration ... how long u want to display each frame for....... and set ur android:indeterminateDrawable= filename_in_drawable....

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animation-list
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:oneshot="false">
<item android:drawable="@drawable/progress_spinner_001" android:duration="300" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/progress_spinner_002" android:duration="300" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/progress_spinner_003" android:duration="300" />
  <item android:drawable="@drawable/progress_spinner_004" android:duration="300" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/progress_spinner_005" android:duration="300" />
      <item android:drawable="@drawable/progress_spinner_006" android:duration="300" />
     <item android:drawable="@drawable/progress_spinner_007" android:duration="300" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/progress_spinner_008" android:duration="300" />
</animation-list>

ps u may need to resize the progressbar to show as desired

Override android:colorControlActivated in your AppTheme which should be in your styles.xml:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="...">
    ...
    <item name="android:colorControlActivated">@color/beautiful_color</item>
    ...
</style>
