How to change progress bar's progress color in Android

Question

I'm using an horizontal progress bar in my Android application, and I want to change its progress color (which is Yellow by default). How can I do it using code (not XML)?

For a horizontal ProgressBar, you can use a ColorFilter, too, like this:

progressBar.getProgressDrawable().setColorFilter(
    Color.RED, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);

Note: This modifies the appearance of all progress bars in your app. To only modify one specific progress bar, do this:

Drawable progressDrawable = progressBar.getProgressDrawable().mutate();
progressDrawable.setColorFilter(Color.RED, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
progressBar.setProgressDrawable(progressDrawable);

If progressBar is indeterminate then use getIndeterminateDrawable() instead of getProgressDrawable().

Since Lollipop (API 21) you can set a progress tint:

progressBar.setProgressTintList(ColorStateList.valueOf(Color.RED));
