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)

使用android.support.v4.graphics.drawable.DrawableCompat:

            Drawable progressDrawable = progressBar.getIndeterminateDrawable();
            if (progressDrawable  != null) {
                Drawable mutateDrawable = progressDrawable.mutate();
                DrawableCompat.setTint(mutateDrawable, primaryColor);
                progressBar.setProgressDrawable(mutateDrawable);
            }

如果有人想通过编程改变颜色:

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

最简单的解决方案，如果你想改变布局xml文件的颜色，使用下面的代码和使用indeterminateTint属性为您想要的颜色。

    <ProgressBar
      android:id="@+id/progressBar"
      style="?android:attr/progressBarStyle"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:indeterminate="true"
      android:indeterminateTintMode="src_atop"
      android:indeterminateTint="#ddbd4e"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
      android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
      android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

根据一些建议，你可以指定一个形状和可剪切的颜色，然后设置它。我让它以编程的方式工作。我就是这么做的。

首先确保导入了可绘制库。

进口android.graphics.drawable。*;

然后使用类似于下面的代码;

ProgressBar pg = (ProgressBar)row.findViewById(R.id.progress);
final float[] roundedCorners = new float[] { 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 };
pgDrawable = new ShapeDrawable(new RoundRectShape(roundedCorners, null,null));
String MyColor = "#FF00FF";
pgDrawable.getPaint().setColor(Color.parseColor(MyColor));
ClipDrawable progress = new ClipDrawable(pgDrawable, Gravity.LEFT, ClipDrawable.HORIZONTAL);
pg.setProgressDrawable(progress);   
pg.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(android.R.drawable.progress_horizontal));
pg.setProgress(45);

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
