Seek bar, change path color from yellow to white

I want to complete the answer from above for the people who are new to the system,

the missing xmls ( background_fill , progress_fill and progress could look like that for a gradient red

progress.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <item 
            android:id="@android:id/background" 
            android:drawable="@drawable/background_fill" />

        <item android:id="@android:id/progress">
           <clip android:drawable="@drawable/progress_fill" />
        </item>
  </layer-list>

background_fill.xml

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <gradient 
        android:startColor="#FF555555" 
        android:centerColor="#FF555555"
        android:endColor="#FF555555" 
        android:angle="90" />

    <corners android:radius="5px" />

    <stroke 
        android:width="2dp" 
        android:color="#50999999" />

    <stroke 
        android:width="1dp" 
        android:color="#70555555" />
</shape>

progress_fill.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <gradient 
        android:startColor="#FF470000" 
        android:centerColor="#FFB80000"
        android:endColor="#FFFF4400" 
        android:angle="180" />

    <corners android:radius="5px" />

    <stroke 
            android:width="2dp" 
            android:color="#50999999" />

    <stroke 
            android:width="1dp" 
            android:color="#70555555" />
</shape>

i did not complete the implementing for android:thumb, so the thumb will be still the original one

Therefore we just have to delete this line again from our layout xml where we define the seekbar

android:thumb="@drawable/thumb"

Good luck!!!

How can i change the color of seekbar

Include this in seek bar:

            <SeekBar 
                android:progressDrawable="@drawable/progress"
                android:thumb="@drawable/thumb"/>

where progress.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@android:id/background" 
    android:drawable="@drawable/background_fill" />

<item android:id="@android:id/progress">
    <clip android:drawable="@drawable/progress_fill" />
</item>
</layer-list>

and thumb.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>    
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <item android:drawable="@drawable/thumb_fill" />
</selector>

Also you can refer this link - http://www.mokasocial.com/2011/02/create-a-custom-styled-ui-slider-seekbar-in-android/ and http://www.anddev.org/seekbar_progressbar_customizing-t6083.html

How to change seek bar progress colour according to its progress?

use custom seek bar for that requirement see following link's

1. http://www.mokasocial.com/2011/02/create-a-custom-styled-ui-slider-seekbar-in-android/

2. Seek bar, change path color from yellow to white

Changing color according to seek bar value

If you need only bright, saturated colors, use Color.HSVToColor() instead of setting R, G and B components directly:

float[] hsvColor = {0, 1, 1};
// generate only hue component in range [0, 360),
// leaving saturation and brightness maximum possible
hsvColor[0] = 360f * progress / maxProgress;
view.setBackgroundColor(Color.HSVToColor(hsvColor));

This code will set color starting from red, then change smoothly to orange, yellow, green, blue and magenta back to red as progress is changing from 0 to maxProgress

How to change the background color of an ImageView using for example a SeekBar?

The suggestion from stkent has helped me.

Actually the answer in this post: android color between two colors, based on percentage? has helped me a lot.

In this case Mark Renouf`s solution was very helpful.

Thanks!

Custom seekbar (thumb size, color and background)

• First at all, use android:splitTrack="false" for the transparency problem of your thumb.

• For the seekbar.png, you have to use a 9 patch. It would be good for the rounded border and the shadow of your image.
