Lollipop Progress Bar Tinting
Solution 1
The accepted solution wasn't working for me on pre-Lollipop, but I found this solution to fit all APIs and on top of that, it doesn't use any deprecated code:
Java solution
// fixes pre-Lollipop progressBar indeterminateDrawable tinting
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
Drawable wrapDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(mProgressBar.getIndeterminateDrawable());
DrawableCompat.setTint(wrapDrawable, ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), android.R.color.holo_green_light));
mProgressBar.setIndeterminateDrawable(DrawableCompat.unwrap(wrapDrawable));
} else {
mProgressBar.getIndeterminateDrawable().setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), android.R.color.holo_green_light), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
}
Kotlin extension
fun ProgressBar.setIndeterminateTintCompat(@ColorInt color: Int) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
val wrapDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(indeterminateDrawable)
DrawableCompat.setTint(wrapDrawable, color)
indeterminateDrawable = DrawableCompat.unwrap(wrapDrawable)
} else {
indeterminateTintList = ColorStateList.valueOf(color)
}
}
// usage
val desiredColor = ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.myColor)
myProgressBar.setIndeterminateTintCompat(desiredColor)
Happy coding !

Try changing your ProgressBar
to this
<ProgressBar
android:id="@+id/view_progress"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:indeterminate="true"
android:indeterminateTintMode="src_in"
android:indeterminateTint="@color/red"
/>
Also you can do it programmaticaly doing this :
ProgressBar progressBar;
progressBar = (ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.view_progress);
progressBar.getProgressDrawable().setColorFilter(Color.RED, Mode.SRC_IN);

Solution 3
To avoid tinting the ProgressBar
background as well, you should get a reference to the exact bitmap from the inner ProgressBar
LayerDrawable
. This is a hacky way of doing it, but it works.
LayerDrawable layerDrawable = (LayerDrawable) progressBar.getProgressDrawable();
Drawable drawable = layerDrawable.getDrawable(2); // The progress bitmap
drawable.setColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
Solution 4
Your code works well in Android 6.0+, but not for Android 5.1 and before as I have tested on my local Android emulator.
I agree with the explanation of @Skizo-ozᴉʞS, and I've found an issue report in Android Issue Tracker that may refer to this bug. See this link.
From the code it seems that using "android:indeterminateTint" only will not take any effects for API < 23.

I'm on a Lollipop device (MotoG 2014), I read about progress bar tinting, but this is not working...I get the default progress bar color. What am I missing here?
<ProgressBar style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge" android:layout_width="50dp" android:layout_height="50dp" android:backgroundTintMode="src_in" android:indeterminate="true" android:indeterminateTint="#f00" />
Many thanks.

Boris almost 7 years@Ninja Haven't tried this yet, but I guess it would have to be
progressBar.getIndeterminateDrawable()
to be in line with the XML sample. -
channae almost 6 yearsThis is the easiest solution I found for pre-lollipop devices. Thanks

BoD over 5 yearsIt looks like
src_in
is the default, so no need to set it -
Punyapat over 5 yearsThis is just what I'm looking for.

user3701188 about 5 yearsWhy is everyone missing the question the question is why this is not working on Lollipop as described by the documentation and everyone
-
Henrique de Sousa about 5 yearswell dear user3701188, once again you'll have to ask Google about that :)
-
Quentin G. almost 5 yearsI think your condition should be
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
? I have tested this and it works for me only if the first piece of code is executed for api over 21. -
guillaume-tgl over 3 yearsBased on this issue report, you could tell that one option for the
indeterminateTint
to work is to also addandroid:indeterminateTintMode="src_in"
.
