How to change some default style of the android Views

In this blog,
I will show you how to change some default style of android Views by programmatically.

How to change the style of RatingBar using PorterDuff

In XML

 <RatingBar
                android:id="@+id/ratingBar"
                style="?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="start"
                android:gravity="center" />

<RatingBar

android:id="@+id/ratingBar"

style="?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_gravity="start"

android:gravity="center" />

In java

RatingBar ratingBar = (RatingBar) convertView.findViewById(R.id.ratingBar);
LayerDrawable stars = (LayerDrawable) ratingBar.getProgressDrawable();
stars.getDrawable(2).setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.accent_color), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

RatingBar ratingBar = (RatingBar) convertView.findViewById(R.id.ratingBar);

LayerDrawable stars = (LayerDrawable) ratingBar.getProgressDrawable();

stars.getDrawable(2).setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.accent_color), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

getDrawable(index): Returns the drawable for the layer at the specified index.

Parameters index
The index of the layer must be in the range 0…getNumberOfLayers()-1.

PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP:

Consider these two images:

The effect is as if the destination image is trimmed to match the source image, and then held up in front of it:

The Porter/Duff operator that does this is called “Dest Atop”.

How to change the color of title divider blue line in Dialog

In this example, I have created a default Dialog view and change the blue line title divider in Dialog.

This is simple dialog,

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(ViewProductSimple.this);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_dialog);
dialog.setTitle("Custom Dialog");
dialog.show();

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(ViewProductSimple.this);

dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_dialog);

dialog.setTitle("Custom Dialog");

dialog.show();

and change the title divider blue line,

int divierId = dialog.getContext().getResources()
                .getIdentifier("android:id/titleDivider", null, null);
View divider = dialog.findViewById(divierId);
divider.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.line_color));

int divierId = dialog.getContext().getResources()

.getIdentifier("android:id/titleDivider", null, null);

View divider = dialog.findViewById(divierId);

divider.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.line_color));

and custom_dialog.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@color/background_color"

        android:textColor="@color/green_font_color"
        android:textStyle="bold" />
