在修改默认进度条的外观时遇到了同样的问题。这里有一些更多的信息，希望能帮助到人们:)

The name of the xml file must only contain characters: a-z0-9_. (ie. no capitals!) To reference your "drawable" it is R.drawable.filename To override the default look, you use myProgressBar.setProgressDrawable(...), however you need can't just refer to your custom layout as R.drawable.filename, you need to retrieve it as a Drawable:Resources res = getResources(); myProgressBar.setProgressDrawable(res.getDrawable(R.drawable.filename); You need to set style before setting progress/secondary progress/max (setting it afterwards for me resulted in an 'empty' progress bar)

对于水平风格的ProgressBar，我使用:

import android.widget.ProgressBar;
import android.graphics.drawable.GradientDrawable;
import android.graphics.drawable.ClipDrawable;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.graphics.drawable.LayerDrawable;

public void setColours(ProgressBar progressBar,
                        int bgCol1, int bgCol2, 
                        int fg1Col1, int fg1Col2, int value1,
                        int fg2Col1, int fg2Col2, int value2)
  {
    //If solid colours are required for an element, then set
    //that elements Col1 param s the same as its Col2 param
    //(eg fg1Col1 == fg1Col2).

    //fgGradDirection and/or bgGradDirection could be parameters
    //if you require other gradient directions eg LEFT_RIGHT.

    GradientDrawable.Orientation fgGradDirection
        = GradientDrawable.Orientation.TOP_BOTTOM;
    GradientDrawable.Orientation bgGradDirection
        = GradientDrawable.Orientation.TOP_BOTTOM;

    //Background
    GradientDrawable bgGradDrawable = new GradientDrawable(
            bgGradDirection, new int[]{bgCol1, bgCol2});
    bgGradDrawable.setShape(GradientDrawable.RECTANGLE);
    bgGradDrawable.setCornerRadius(5);
    ClipDrawable bgclip = new ClipDrawable(
            bgGradDrawable, Gravity.LEFT, ClipDrawable.HORIZONTAL);     
    bgclip.setLevel(10000);

    //SecondaryProgress
    GradientDrawable fg2GradDrawable = new GradientDrawable(
            fgGradDirection, new int[]{fg2Col1, fg2Col2});
    fg2GradDrawable.setShape(GradientDrawable.RECTANGLE);
    fg2GradDrawable.setCornerRadius(5);
    ClipDrawable fg2clip = new ClipDrawable(
            fg2GradDrawable, Gravity.LEFT, ClipDrawable.HORIZONTAL);        

    //Progress
    GradientDrawable fg1GradDrawable = new GradientDrawable(
            fgGradDirection, new int[]{fg1Col1, fg1Col2});
    fg1GradDrawable.setShape(GradientDrawable.RECTANGLE);
    fg1GradDrawable.setCornerRadius(5);
    ClipDrawable fg1clip = new ClipDrawable(
            fg1GradDrawable, Gravity.LEFT, ClipDrawable.HORIZONTAL);        

    //Setup LayerDrawable and assign to progressBar
    Drawable[] progressDrawables = {bgclip, fg2clip, fg1clip};
    LayerDrawable progressLayerDrawable = new LayerDrawable(progressDrawables);     
    progressLayerDrawable.setId(0, android.R.id.background);
    progressLayerDrawable.setId(1, android.R.id.secondaryProgress);
    progressLayerDrawable.setId(2, android.R.id.progress);

    //Copy the existing ProgressDrawable bounds to the new one.
    Rect bounds = progressBar.getProgressDrawable().getBounds();
    progressBar.setProgressDrawable(progressLayerDrawable);     
    progressBar.getProgressDrawable().setBounds(bounds);

    // setProgress() ignores a change to the same value, so:
    if (value1 == 0)
        progressBar.setProgress(1);
    else
        progressBar.setProgress(0);
    progressBar.setProgress(value1);

    // setSecondaryProgress() ignores a change to the same value, so:
    if (value2 == 0)
        progressBar.setSecondaryProgress(1);
    else
        progressBar.setSecondaryProgress(0);
    progressBar.setSecondaryProgress(value2);

    //now force a redraw
    progressBar.invalidate();
  }

一个调用的例子是:

  setColours(myProgressBar, 
          0xff303030,   //bgCol1  grey 
          0xff909090,   //bgCol2  lighter grey 
          0xff0000FF,   //fg1Col1 blue 
          0xffFFFFFF,   //fg1Col2 white
          50,           //value1
          0xffFF0000,   //fg2Col1 red 
          0xffFFFFFF,   //fg2Col2 white
          75);          //value2

如果您不需要“次要进度”，只需将value2设置为value1。

这招对我很管用:

<ProgressBar
 android:indeterminateTint="#d60909"
 ... />

如果有人想通过编程改变颜色:

progressBar.progressTintList = ColorStateList.valueOf(Color.RED)

对于水平的ProgressBar，你也可以使用ColorFilter，就像这样:

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

注意:这将修改应用程序中所有进度条的外观。要只修改一个特定的进度条，请执行以下操作:

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

如果progressBar是不确定的，则使用getIndeterminateDrawable()而不是getProgressDrawable()。

因为棒棒糖(API 21)，你可以设置一个进度色调:

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

还有一件小事，如果你继承了一个基础主题，主题解决方案也会起作用，所以对于应用紧凑，你的主题应该是:

<style name="AppTheme.Custom" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat">
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/custom</item>
</style>

然后在进度条主题中设置这个

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progressCircle_progressBar"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme.Custom"
    android:indeterminate="true"/>
