Android: Change color of ratingbar to golden

I want to change color of rating bar to golden.
I dont want to customize the stars, i just want to change the color for API 16 or above
I have tried following solutions but none of them worked out for me 

1.    

RatingBar ratingBar = (RatingBar) findViewById(R.id.ratingBar);
LayerDrawable stars = (LayerDrawable) ratingBar.getProgressDrawable();
stars.getDrawable(2).setColorFilter(Color.YELLOW, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

2.

android:progressDrawable="@color/golden" in XML
Solution

  • This option is now included in the AppCompat library. The AppCompat version of the RatingBar is used automatically.

    http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/widget/AppCompatRatingBar.html

    Example (from my own app):

    <RatingBar
    android:id="@+id/rating"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:numStars="5"
    android:stepSize="1"
    android:theme="@style/RatingBar"/>

    With theme:

    <style name="RatingBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
    <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/lightGrey</item>
    <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/duskYellow</item>
</style>
