How to change color in circular progress bar?

Question

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 );

In the res/drawable folder, put this:

progress.xml

<?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="360">

    <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="#00ffffff"
        android:angle="0"/>

    </shape>

</rotate> 

Set startColor and endColor as per your choice .

Now set that progress.xml in ProgressBar's backgound .

Like this

<ProgressBar
  android:id="@+id/ProgressBar01" 
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:indeterminateDrawable="@drawable/progress"
 />

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" />

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);

        }
    });

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);

android:indeterminateTint="@color/progressbar"
