[android] How to change color in circular progress bar?

I am using circular progress bar on Android. I wish to change the color of this. I am using

"?android:attr/progressBarStyleLargeInverse" 

style. So how to change the color of progress bar.

How to custom the style? Furthermore, what is the definition of the style?

This question is related to android progress-bar

The answer is


To customize circular ProgressBar we need to create a indeterminateDrawable to show custom progress bar

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:fromDegrees="0"
    android:pivotX="50%"
    android:pivotY="50%"
    android:duration="1">

    <shape
        android:innerRadiusRatio="3"
        android:shape="ring"
        android:thicknessRatio="8"
        android:useLevel="false">

        <size
            android:height="48dip"
            android:width="48dip" />

        <gradient
            android:centerColor="#f96047"
            android:centerY="0.50"
            android:endColor="#fb9c8d"
            android:startColor="#f72d0c"
            android:type="sweep"
            android:useLevel="false" />

    </shape>

</rotate>

We need to include drawable in progressbar just as below:

<ProgressBar
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
    android:visibility="visible"
    android:progressDrawable="@drawable/widget_progressbar"
    android:indeterminateDrawable="@drawable/widget_progressbar"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

You can change color programmatically by using this code :

ProgressBar v = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progress);
v.getIndeterminateDrawable().setColorFilter(0xFFcc0000,
                        android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);

If you want to change ProgressDialog's progressbar color, u can use this :

mDilog.setOnShowListener(new OnShowListener() {
        @Override
        public void onShow(DialogInterface dialog) {
            ProgressBar v = (ProgressBar)mDilog.findViewById(android.R.id.progress);
            v.getIndeterminateDrawable().setColorFilter(0xFFcc0000,
                    android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);

        }
    });

You can do this with a custom dialog pretty easily, reusing the xml from other answers:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<shape
    android:innerRadiusRatio="3"
    android:shape="ring"
    android:thicknessRatio="8"
    android:useLevel="false" >

    <size
        android:height="76dip"
        android:width="76dip" />

    <gradient
        android:angle="0"
        android:endColor="@color/oceanBlue"
        android:startColor="@android:color/transparent"
        android:type="sweep"
        android:useLevel="false" />

</shape>

Just do this:

public static class ModifiedProgressDialog extends ProgressDialog {
    public ModifiedProgressDialog(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    @Override
    public void show() {
        super.show();
        setIndeterminateDrawable(getContext().getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.blue_progress));
    }
}

android:indeterminateTint="@color/progressbar"


To supplement Muhamed Riyas M's top voted answer:

Faster rotation

android:toDegrees="1080"

Thinner ring

android:thicknessRatio="16"

Light white

android:endColor="#80ffffff"

check this answer out:

for me, these two lines had to be there for it to work and change the color:

android:indeterminateTint="@color/yourColor"
android:indeterminateTintMode="src_in"

PS: but its only available from android 21


Add to your activity theme, item colorControlActivated, for example:

    <style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
            ...
            <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/rocket_black</item>
            ...
    </style>

Apply this style to your Activity in the manifest:

<activity
    android:name=".packege.YourActivity"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"/>

Set android:indeterminateDrawable="@drawable/progress_custom_rotate"

Use Below Code for Custom Circular Ring Progress Bar

Copy Below code and create "progress_custom_rotate.xml" in Drawable folder

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:pivotX="50%" android:pivotY="50%" android:fromDegrees="0"
    android:toDegrees="1080">

    <shape android:shape="ring" android:innerRadiusRatio="3"
        android:thicknessRatio="8" android:useLevel="false">

        <size android:width="48dip" android:height="48dip" />

        <gradient android:type="sweep" android:useLevel="false"
            android:startColor="#4c737373" android:centerColor="#4c737373"
            android:centerY="0.50" android:endColor="#ffffd300" />

    </shape>

</rotate>

You can use a style for changing the color of progress like below

 <style name="AppTheme.anyName">
        <item name="colorAccent">YOUR_COLOR</item>
    </style>

and use it in the ProgressBar like below

<ProgressBar
            style="?android:attr/progressBarStyle"
            android:theme="@style/AppTheme.WhiteAccent"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/dimen_30"
        />

Hope it helps.


<style name="progressColor" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar">
    <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>


<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progressBar"
    android:layout_width="250dp"
    android:theme="@style/progressColor"
    android:layout_height="250dp"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true" />

For all those wondering how to increase the speed of custom progress

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:pivotX="50%" android:pivotY="50%" android:fromDegrees="0"
android:toDegrees="1080"><!--HERE YOU COULD INCREASE SPEED BY SETTING TODEGRESS(1080 is 3 loops instead of 1 in same amt of time)-->
<shape android:shape="ring" android:innerRadiusRatio="3"
    android:thicknessRatio="8" android:useLevel="false">
    <size android:width="76dip" android:height="76dip" />
    <gradient android:type="sweep" android:useLevel="false"
        android:startColor="#447a29" 
        android:endColor="#447a29"
        android:angle="0"
         />
</shape>


Try using a style and set colorControlActivated too desired ProgressBar color.

<style name="progressColor" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar">
    <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/COLOR</item>
</style>

Then set the theme of the ProgressBar to new style.

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progress_bar"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:theme="@style/progressColor"
 />

1.First Create an xml file in drawable folder under resource

named "progress.xml"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:fromDegrees="0"
    android:pivotX="50%"
    android:pivotY="50%"
    android:toDegrees="360" >

    <shape
        android:innerRadiusRatio="3"
        android:shape="ring"
        android:thicknessRatio="8"
        android:useLevel="false" >

    <size
        android:height="76dip"
        android:width="76dip" />

    <gradient
        android:angle="0"
        android:endColor="color/pink"
        android:startColor="@android:color/transparent"
        android:type="sweep"
        android:useLevel="false" />

    </shape>

</rotate>

2.then make a progresss bar using the folloing snippet

<ProgressBar
    style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_above="@+id/relativeLayout1"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
    android:indeterminate="true"
    android:indeterminateDrawable="@drawable/progress" />

To add to Dato's answer, i find SRC_ATOP to be a preferable filter to multiply as it better supports the alpha channel.

ProgressBar v = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progress);
v.getIndeterminateDrawable().setColorFilter(0xFFcc0000, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

For API 21 and Higher. Simply set the indeterminateTint property. Like:

android:indeterminateTint="@android:color/holo_orange_dark"

To support pre-API 21 devices:

mProgressSpin.getIndeterminateDrawable()
                .setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.colorPrimary), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN );

for me theme wasn't working with accentColor. But it did work with colorControlActivated

    <style name="Progressbar.White" parent="AppTheme">
        <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/white</item>
    </style>

  <ProgressBar
        android:layout_width="@dimen/d_40"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/d_40"
        android:indeterminate="true"
        android:theme="@style/Progressbar.White"/>

It takes color value from your Res/Values/Colors.xml -> colorAccent if you change it, your progressBar color changes aswell.


That's work for me.

<ProgressBar
android:id="@+id/ProgressBar01" 
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:indeterminateTint="@color/black"/>

styles.xml

<style name="CircularProgress" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/yellow</item>
</style>

  <ProgressBar
        android:layout_width="@dimen/d_40"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/d_40"
        android:indeterminate="true"
        style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar"
        android:theme="@style/CircularProgress"/>

You can change your progressbar colour using the code below:

progressBar.getProgressDrawable().setColorFilter(
    getResources().getColor(R.color.your_color), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
