How to make custom indeterminate ProgressBar in Android or how to change ProgressBar style or color
Hi,
Here i want to show you how easily make your own Android ProgressBar style or how to change ProgressBar color.
It is very easy! Also below you can download source code of Android project.
Below you can see the screenShot with ProgressBar
To do this you need:
- Create the image for this ProgressBar in any graphical editor.
- Create animation drawable with content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animated-rotate
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:drawable="@drawable/image_for_rotation"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%" />
Where @drawable/image_for_rotation is the resource of your progressBar image.
Select android:indeterminateDrawable for ProgressBar witget.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center">
<ProgressBar android:indeterminateDrawable="@drawable/my_progress_indeterminate" android:layout_height="100dp" android:layout_width="100dp"></ProgressBar>
</LinearLayout>
Enjoy! 🙂
