So I have been struggling with this issue for two hours and I have come up with a working solution for all API versions  where half stars ratings are also shown   private void setRatingStarColor Drawable drawable   ColorInt int color        if  Build VERSION SDK INT  gt   Build VERSION CODES LOLLIPOP                DrawableCompat setTint drawable  color             else               drawable setColorFilter color  PorterDuff Mode SRC IN             You call the method with this order of drawables       LayerDrawable stars    LayerDrawable  ratingBar getProgressDrawable           Filled stars     setRatingStarColor stars getDrawable 2   ContextCompat getColor getContext    R color foreground           Half filled stars     setRatingStarColor stars getDrawable 1   ContextCompat getColor getContext    R color background           Empty stars     setRatingStarColor stars getDrawable 0   ContextCompat getColor getContext    R color background      NOTE  Also you must specify attributes  max  and  numStars  in XML  otherwise half stars aren t shown

The solutions that Alex and CommonsWares have posted are correct  One thing that the Android never talks about though is proper pixel sizes for different densities  Here are the required dimensions for each density based on halo light   Small Star  mdpi  16px hdpi  24px xhdpi  32px xxhdpi  48px   Medium Star  mdpi  24px hdpi  36px xhdpi  48px xxhdpi  72px   Large Star  mdpi  35px hdpi  52px xhdpi  69px xxhdpi  105px

From the API 21 on it s very easy to change the color of the stars with this three lines of code   android progressTint   android color holo red dark  android progressBackgroundTint   android color holo red dark  android secondaryProgressTint   android color holo red dark     Doing it like this  you ll change     the filled stars color  progressTint  the unfilled stars color  progressBackgroundTint  and the border color  secondaryProgressTint  of the stars

As the previous answer implies  it is not easy to change the color of the ratingbar  The stars are not programmatically drawn  they are images with fixed size and specific color gradients  To change the color you have to create your own star images with different colors then proceed to create your own drawable XML resource and pass it to the ratingsBar class using setProgressDrawable Drawable d  or XML attribute android progressDrawable

Withou adding a new style you can use the tint color within the RatingBar                lt RatingBar                     android id    id ratingBar                      style   android style Widget Holo RatingBar Small                      android layout width  wrap content                      android layout height  wrap content                      android numStars  5                      android rating  4 5                      android stepSize  0 5                      android progressTint   color colorPrimary   gt

It s a little complicated at the mentioned blog  I ve used a similar but simplier way  You do need 3 star images  red star full png  red star half png and red star empty png  and one xml  that s all   Put these 3 images at res drawable   Put there the following ratingbar red xml    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  UTF-8   gt   lt layer-list xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  gt       lt item android id   android id background  android drawable   drawable red star empty    gt       lt item android id   android id secondaryProgress  android drawable   drawable red star half    gt       lt item android id   android id progress  android drawable   drawable red star full    gt   lt  layer-list gt    and  finally  tell your ratingbar definition to use this  i e    lt RatingBar android progressDrawable   drawable ratingbar red   gt    That s it

Building  lgvalle s answer       2015 Update      Now you can use DrawableCompat to tint all kind of drawables  For example       Drawable progress   ratingBar getProgressDrawable         DrawableCompat setTint progress  Color WHITE     This is backwards compatible up to API 4   LayerDrawable drawable    LayerDrawable  getProgressDrawable    Drawable progress   drawable getDrawable 2   DrawableCompat setTint progress  getResources   getColor COLOR1    progress   drawable getDrawable 1   DrawableCompat setTintMode progress  PorterDuff Mode DST ATOP   DrawableCompat setTint progress  getResources   getColor COLOR1    DrawableCompat setTintMode progress  PorterDuff Mode SRC ATOP   DrawableCompat setTint progress  getResources   getColor COLOR2    progress   drawable getDrawable 0   DrawableCompat setTint progress  getResources   getColor COLOR2      This will keep the fraction steps colors

I was looking for a reliable method to do this all the way down to API 9 at least  The  casting to LayerDrawble  solution seemed like a risky solution to me  and when I tested it out on an Android phone on 2 3  it casted successfully but the call to DrawableCompat setTint      did not have any effect   The need to load drawable assets did not seem like a good solution to me either   I decided to code my own solution which is a class extending AppCompatRatingBar  using a custom Drawable taking care of drawing the stars programmatically  It works perfectly for my needs  I ll post it in case

Step  1  Create your own style  by cloning one of the existing styles  from  ANDROID HOME platforms  SDK data res values styles xml   putting it in your own project s styles xml  and referencing it when you add the widget to a layout   Step  2  Create your own LayerDrawable XML resources for the RatingBar  pointing to appropriate images to use for the bar  The original styles will point you to the existing resources that you can compare with  Then  adjust your style to use your own LayerDrawable resources  rather than built-in ones

Works for Android below and above version 21  After some research I ve come up with this method to set the background tint  the gap tint  ex  half star  and the star tint color   LayerDrawable layers    LayerDrawable  ratingBar getProgressDrawable    DrawableCompat setTint layers getDrawable 0   0x33000000      The background tint DrawableCompat setTint layers getDrawable 1   0x00000000      The gap tint  Transparent in this case so the gap doesnt seem darker than the background  DrawableCompat setTint layers getDrawable 2   0xffFED80A      The star tint

Now you can use DrawableCompat from AppCompat v22 1 0 onwards to dynamically tint all kind of drawables  useful when you re supporting multiple themes with a single set of drawables  For example   LayerDrawable layerDrawable    LayerDrawable  ratingBar getProgressDrawable    DrawableCompat setTint DrawableCompat wrap layerDrawable getDrawable 0    Color RED        Empty star DrawableCompat setTint DrawableCompat wrap layerDrawable getDrawable 1    Color GREEN      Partial star DrawableCompat setTint DrawableCompat wrap layerDrawable getDrawable 2    Color BLUE       Full star   This is backwards compatible down to API 4  Also see Chris Banes  blog post on Support Libraries v22 1 0  For the actual size and shape you will need to define a new style and layer-list drawables for the appropriate size  as others have already answered above

A very easy way to change the border colour of the stars is using the xml parameter   android progressBackgroundTint      in the ratingBar view  The value should be a hexadecimal code for a color

2015 Update  Now you can use DrawableCompat to tint all kind of drawables  For example   Drawable progress   ratingBar getProgressDrawable    DrawableCompat setTint progress  Color WHITE     This is backwards compatible up to API 4

Using the answers above  I created a quick static method that can easily be re-used  It only aims at tinting the progress color for the activated stars  The stars that are not activated remain grey       public static RatingBar tintRatingBar  RatingBar ratingBar  int progressColor if  ratingBar getProgressDrawable   instanceof LayerDrawable            LayerDrawable progressDrawable    LayerDrawable  ratingBar getProgressDrawable            Drawable drawable   progressDrawable getDrawable 2           Drawable compat   DrawableCompat wrap drawable           DrawableCompat setTint compat  progressColor           Drawable   drawables   new Drawable 3           drawables 2    compat           drawables 0    progressDrawable getDrawable 0           drawables 1    progressDrawable getDrawable 1            LayerDrawable layerDrawable   new LayerDrawable drawables            ratingBar setProgressDrawable layerDrawable            return ratingBar            else           Drawable progressDrawable    ratingBar getProgressDrawable            Drawable compat   DrawableCompat wrap progressDrawable           DrawableCompat setTint compat  progressColor           ratingBar setProgressDrawable compat           return ratingBar            Just pass your rating bar and a Color using getResources   getColor R color my rating color   As you can see  I use DrawableCompat so it s backward compatible   EDIT   This method does not work on API21  go figure why   You end up with a NullPointerException when calling setProgressBar  I ended up disabling the whole method on API    21    For API    21  I use SupperPuccio solution
