Cannot change color of progress bar?

Question

Created own color in color.xml <color name="colorProgressBar">#006600</color>

In styles.xml

<style name="ProgressBarde">
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorProgressBar</item>
    </style>

and added this to the main .xml activity

<ProgressBar
            android:id="@+id/progressBar3"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:indeterminate="true"
            android:theme="@style/ProgressBarde" />

As you can the I choosed green color for my progress bar. It's even changed to my android studio editor. But when run it on my real android device by usb It's not changing. Where is my mistake?

Are you running your app on a pre-Lollipop device? On these devices the Material-themed progress bars are not available. instead, they are replaced with the default Holo progress bar. You can try using a third-party library for this.

(This should have been a comment, but my reputation is too low.)

I mean what's your Android version? If it is below 5.0, then you could try using a library; if it's 5.0 or higher, then my answer is wrong and the bug lies somewhere else. Also, instead of using a library, try applying a tint to the progress bar on pre-lollipop devices: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15809803/6244733. It won't look material but it's close enough. – Phạm Nguyễn Hoàng Mar 11 '18 at 18:32
