Changing translucent background color of progressbar android

android, android-alertdialog, android-progressbar

Solution

You can use dialog instead of progressdialog,

    dialogTransparent = new Dialog(this, android.R.style.Theme_Black);
    View view = LayoutInflater.from(getActivity()).inflate(
            R.layout.remove_border, null);
    dialogTransparent.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    dialogTransparent.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(
            R.color.transparent);
    dialogTransparent.setContentView(view);

Update:

   Here the color transparent is  #80FFFFFF

Problem

I want to change background color of the progressbar having black translucent background with opacity less than 50%. I searched a lot about this but not able to find solution. I don't know whether i'm right or not but it has some thing to do with mdecor property of the progressbar. Following is the code I am using it. ``` pd = ProgressDialog.show(getActivity(), null, null,true); pd.setContentView(R.layout.remove_border); ``` The code for remove border layout is: ``` <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="@android:color/transparent" android:orientation="vertical" > <ProgressBar android:id="@+id/progressBar1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:background="@android:color/transparent" android:indeterminateDrawable="@drawable/my_progress_indeterminate" /> </LinearLayout> ``` The code for my_progress_indeterminate is: ``` <animated-rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:drawable="@drawable/loadingiconblack" android:pivotX="50%" android:pivotY="50%" /> ``` Following is the image the background area is marked in red circle. I want to change color to white with same opacity. EDIT: Final solution to my issue thanks to Sripathi and user3298272 combining both solutions here is my updated answer: ``` pd = new Dialog(this, android.R.style.Theme_Black); View view = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.remove_border, null); pd.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); pd.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(R.color.transparent); pd.setContentView(view); pd.show(); ``` remove_border xml code: Here android:gravity = "center" is added in linear layout code of mine. ``` <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="@android:color/transparent" android:gravity="center" android:orientation="vertical" > <ProgressBar android:id="@+id/progressBar1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:background="@android:color/transparent" android:indeterminateDrawable="@drawable/my_progress_indeterminate" /> </LinearLayout> ``` color xml code: ``` <resources> <color name="transparent">#80FFFFFF</color> </resources> ``` In #80FFFFFF 80 is the opacity value 50% which i took from user3298272.
