Add gradient background option attribute

[krharsh17]

Add an attribute and a field in the BarView class to generate and put gradient backgrounds for bars

[Sourish-Mukherjee]

Is it going to be like a random gradient colour for the bar or like is it upon the choice of the user? #GSSOC20

@Sourish-Mukherjee Currently a solid random colour is being generated and applied to the bar, you need to put a flag attribute first, which determines whether a solid or a gradient background will be applied. In the gradient option, you need to alter the code in such a way that two very close yet distinct random colours are generated and a gradient drawable made out of them is set as the background of the bars.

@krharsh17 this flag attribute, few clarifications required :

1 - Will the flag attribute be set through any button, like for suppose seekbar? If enabled, then bar will change from solid color to gradient.
2 -If yes then where will the option be provided?
3 -Graident clarification
3.1 - I suppose you are saying the two colours for gradient, start color and end color has
to be nearly similar yet different enough right?
3.2 - This should be generated randomly for all the bars right?
3.3 - We should generate the color in such a way that no bar should have nearly the same
color right?

Yes there has to be an xml attribute as well as a java setter for it

Yes

no two bars should have nearly the same color
