How to change android indeterminate ProgressBar color?

小开

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

To get a ProgressBar in the default theme that is to be used on white/light back ground, use one of the inverse styles:

<ProgressBar style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Inverse"/>
<ProgressBar style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Large.Inverse"/>
<ProgressBar style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Small.Inverse"/>

This will usually give you a black on transparent ProgressBar, but some OS installs use custom assets. If you're looking for a specific color, you'll have to roll your own drawables by following the instructions provided by CommonsWare.

progressBar.getIndeterminateDrawable().setColorFilter(
getResources().getColor(Your_Color),
android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);

and replace Your_Color with the desired color like: R.color.your_color_code

I see other answers are quite old, in order to change the indeterminate ProgressBar color you have just to set android:indeterminateTint and android:indeterminateTintMode attributes in your ProgressBar item directly in XML:

<ProgressBar
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:indeterminateTint="@color/colorPrimary"
android:indeterminateTintMode="src_in"
android:indeterminate="true" />

android:indeterminateTint - Tint to apply to the indeterminate progress indicator.

Must be a color value, in the form of "#rgb", "#argb", "#rrggbb", "#aarrggbb", or a reference to a resource @color/colorPrimary.

android:indeterminateTintMode - Blending mode used to apply the progress indicator tint.

Must be one of the following constant values:
add, multiply, screen, src_atop, src_in or src_over

Getter and Setter methods for these attributes are:

All of them were added in API level 21

For API less than 23 use

progressBar.getIndeterminateDrawable().setColorFilter(
getResources().getColor(Your_Color),
android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);

else use

progressBar.getIndeterminateDrawable().setColorFilter(
ContextCompat.getColor(context, Your_Color),
android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);

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>

Works on API 21+

With the Material Component Library you can use the CircularProgressIndicator with these attributes:

indicatorColor
trackColor

Something like:

<com.google.android.material.progressindicator.CircularProgressIndicator
android:indeterminate="true"
app:trackColor="@color/red600Light"
app:indicatorColor="@color/red600Dark"
app:indicatorSize="50dp"
.../>

You can also use a Multi-color indeterminate indicator.

<com.google.android.material.progressindicator.CircularProgressIndicator
android:indeterminate="true"
app:trackColor="@color/red600Light"
app:indicatorColor="@array/progress_colors"
app:indeterminateAnimationType="contiguous"/>

with array/progress_colors:

  <integer-array name="progress_colors">
<item>@color/...</item>
<item>@color/...</item>
<item>@color/...</item>
</integer-array>
