There are 3 ways to solve this question   How to adjust the progressbar color declaratively How to adjust the progressbar color programmatically  but choose the color from various predetermined colors declared before compile-time How to adjust the progressbar color programmatically  and also create the color programatically   In particular there is a lot of confusion around  2 and  3  as seen in comments to amfcosta s answer  That answer will yield unpredictable color results anytime you d like to set the progressbar to anything except primary colors  as it only modifies the background color  and the actual progress bar  quot clip quot  area will still be a yellow overlay with reduced opacity  For example  using that method to set the background to dark purple will result in a progress bar  quot clip quot  color of some crazy pinkish color resulting from dark purple and yellow mixing via reduced alpha  So anyhow   1 is answered perfectly by Ryan and   tarke answers most of  3  but for those looking for a complete solution to  2 and  3   How to adjust the progressbar color programmatically  but choose the color from a predetermined color declared in XML res drawable my progressbar xml  Create this file but change the colors in my progress and my secondsProgress   NOTE  This is just a copy of the actual XML file defining the default android SDK ProgressBar  but I ve changed the IDs and Colors  The original is named progress horizontal   lt  xml version  quot 1 0 quot  encoding  quot utf-8 quot   gt   lt layer-list xmlns android  quot http   schemas android com apk res android quot  gt    lt item android id  quot   id my progress background quot  gt       lt shape gt           lt corners android radius  quot 5dip quot    gt           lt gradient             android startColor  quot  ff9d9e9d quot              android centerColor  quot  ff5a5d5a quot              android centerY  quot 0 75 quot              android endColor  quot  ff747674 quot              android angle  quot 270 quot                gt       lt  shape gt   lt  item gt    lt item android id  quot   id my secondaryProgress quot  gt       lt clip gt           lt shape gt               lt corners android radius  quot 5dip quot    gt               lt gradient                 android startColor  quot  80ff171d quot                  android centerColor  quot  80ff1315 quot                  android centerY  quot 0 75 quot                  android endColor  quot  a0ff0208 quot                  android angle  quot 270 quot                    gt           lt  shape gt       lt  clip gt   lt  item gt    lt item android id  quot   id my progress quot  gt       lt clip gt           lt shape gt               lt corners android radius  quot 5dip quot    gt               lt gradient                 android startColor  quot  7d2afdff quot                  android centerColor  quot  ff2afdff quot                  android centerY  quot 0 75 quot                  android endColor  quot  ff22b9ba quot                  android angle  quot 270 quot                    gt           lt  shape gt       lt  clip gt   lt  item gt    In your Java  final Drawable drawable  int sdk   android os Build VERSION SDK INT      if sdk  lt  16            drawable    ctx getResources   getDrawable R drawable my progressbar         else           drawable   ContextCompat getDrawable ctx  R drawable my progressbar         progressBar setProgressDrawable drawable    How to adjust the progressbar color programmatically  and also create the color programatically EDIT  I found the time to solve this properly  My former answer left this a bit ambiguous  A ProgressBar is composed as 3 Drawables in a LayerDrawable   Layer 1 is the background Layer 2 is the secondary progress color Layer 3 is the main progress bar color  In the example below I ll change the color of the main progress bar to cyan    Create new ClipDrawable to replace the old one float pxCornerRadius   viewUtils convertDpToPixel 5   final float   roundedCorners   new float     pxCornerRadius  pxCornerRadius  pxCornerRadius  pxCornerRadius  pxCornerRadius  pxCornerRadius  pxCornerRadius  pxCornerRadius    ShapeDrawable shpDrawable   new ShapeDrawable new RoundRectShape roundedCorners  null  null    shpDrawable getPaint   setColor Color CYAN   final ClipDrawable newProgressClip   new ClipDrawable shpDrawable  Gravity LEFT  ClipDrawable HORIZONTAL      Replace the existing ClipDrawable with this new one final LayerDrawable layers    LayerDrawable  progressBar getProgressDrawable    layers setDrawableByLayerId R id my progress  newProgressClip    That example set it to a solid color  You may set it to a gradient color by replacing shpDrawable getPaint   setColor Color CYAN    with Shader shader   new LinearGradient 0  0  0  progressBar getHeight    Color WHITE  Color BLACK  Shader TileMode CLAMP   shpDrawable getPaint   setShader shader    Cheers  -Lance

If you are in API level 21 or above you can use these XML attributes    lt  -- For indeterminate progress bar -- gt  android indeterminateTint   color white   lt  -- For normal progress bar -- gt  android progressTint   color white

The simplest solution I found out is something like this    lt item name  colorAccent  gt  color white or any color lt  item gt    Put the above in styles xml file under res  gt  values folder   NOTE  If you use any other accent color  then the previous solutions should be good to go with   API 21 or HIGHER

You guys are really giving me a headache   What you can do is make your layer-list drawable via xml first  meaning a background as the first layer  a drawable that represents secondary progress as the second layer  and another drawable that represents the primary progress as the last layer   then change the color on the code by doing the following   public void setPrimaryProgressColor int colorInstance          if  progressBar getProgressDrawable   instanceof LayerDrawable            Log d mLogTag   Drawable is a layer drawable            LayerDrawable layered    LayerDrawable  progressBar getProgressDrawable            Drawable circleDrawableExample   layered getDrawable  lt whichever is your index of android R id progress gt            circleDrawableExample setColorFilter colorInstance  PorterDuff Mode SRC IN           progressBar setProgressDrawable layered         else           Log d mLogTag   Fallback in case it s not a LayerDrawable            progressBar getProgressDrawable   setColorFilter color  PorterDuff Mode SRC IN             This method will give you the best flexibility of having the measurement of your original drawable declared on the xml  WITH NO MODIFICATION ON ITS STRUCTURE AFTERWARDS  especially if you need to have the xml file screen folder specific  then just modifying ONLY THE COLOR via the code  No re-instantiating a new ShapeDrawable from scratch whatsoever
