这个解决方案对我很有效:

<style name="Progressbar.White" parent="AppTheme">
    <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/white</item>
</style>

<ProgressBar
    android:layout_width="@dimen/d_40"
    android:layout_height="@dimen/d_40"
    android:indeterminate="true"
    android:theme="@style/Progressbar.White"/>

更改进度条的前景和背景颜色的最简单的方法是

<ProgressBar
                        style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
                        android:id="@+id/pb_main"
                        android:layout_width="match_parent"
                        android:layout_height="8dp"
                        android:progress="30"
                        android:progressTint="#82e9de"
                        android:progressBackgroundTint="#82e9de"
                        />

只需添加

                        android:progressTint="#82e9de" //for foreground colour
                        android:progressBackgroundTint="#82e9de" //for background colour

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));

更改水平进度条颜色(kotlin):

fun tintHorizontalProgress(progress: ProgressBar, @ColorInt color: Int = ContextCompat.getColor(progress.context, R.color.colorPrimary)){
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        progress.progressTintList = ColorStateList.valueOf(color)
    } else{
        val layerDrawable = progress.progressDrawable as? LayerDrawable
        val progressDrawable = layerDrawable?.findDrawableByLayerId(android.R.id.progress)
        progressDrawable?.setColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP)
    }
}

更改不确定的ProgressBar颜色:

fun tintIndeterminateProgress(progress: ProgressBar, @ColorInt color: Int = ContextCompat.getColor(progress.context, R.color.colorPrimary)){
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        progress.indeterminateTintList = ColorStateList.valueOf(color)
    } else {
        (progress.indeterminateDrawable as? LayerDrawable)?.apply {
            if (numberOfLayers >= 2) {
                setId(0, android.R.id.progress)
                setId(1, android.R.id.secondaryProgress)
                val progressDrawable = findDrawableByLayerId(android.R.id.progress).mutate()
                progressDrawable.setColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP)
            }
        }
    }
}

它最终正常地着色pre-lollipop progressBars

ProgressBar bar;

private Handler progressBarHandler = new Handler();

GradientDrawable progressGradientDrawable = new GradientDrawable(
        GradientDrawable.Orientation.LEFT_RIGHT, new int[]{
                0xff1e90ff,0xff006ab6,0xff367ba8});
ClipDrawable progressClipDrawable = new ClipDrawable(
        progressGradientDrawable, Gravity.LEFT, ClipDrawable.HORIZONTAL);
Drawable[] progressDrawables = {
        new ColorDrawable(0xffffffff),
        progressClipDrawable, progressClipDrawable};
LayerDrawable progressLayerDrawable = new LayerDrawable(progressDrawables);


int status = 0;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    setContentView(R.layout.startup);

    bar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.start_page_progressBar);
    bar.setProgress(0);
    bar.setMax(100);

    progressLayerDrawable.setId(0, android.R.id.background);
    progressLayerDrawable.setId(1, android.R.id.secondaryProgress);
    progressLayerDrawable.setId(2, android.R.id.progress);

    bar.setProgressDrawable(progressLayerDrawable);
}

这帮助我通过代码设置自定义颜色为progressbar。希望能有所帮助

如今在2016年，我发现一些前棒棒糖设备不尊重colorAccent设置，所以我对所有api的最终解决方案现在如下:

// fixes pre-Lollipop progressBar indeterminateDrawable tinting
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {

    Drawable wrapDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(mProgressBar.getIndeterminateDrawable());
    DrawableCompat.setTint(wrapDrawable, ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), android.R.color.holo_green_light));
    mProgressBar.setIndeterminateDrawable(DrawableCompat.unwrap(wrapDrawable));
} else {
    mProgressBar.getIndeterminateDrawable().setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), android.R.color.holo_green_light), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
}

另外，它没有使用任何弃用代码。试一试!
