Android change color of ImageView / Bitmap
android, android-imageview, bitmap
Solution
This is how I solved this issue :
- Declare an `ImageView` with `src="@drawable/button"`
- Create a `Drawable` and set `ColorFilter` to it and after that use it as src to your declared `ImageView` like this :
>
Drawable myIcon = getResources().getDrawable( R.drawable.button );
ColorFilter filter = new LightingColorFilter( Color.BLUE, Color.BLUE );
myIcon.setColorFilter(filter);
color.setImageDrawable(myIcon);
Problem
I need to find a way to change the color of bitmap in Android. I need to replace/change colors of oval image smoothly in my application depending on `int` value. I need something like if `myValue=5` than change my image's color to `RED` and if `myValue=322` change color to `BLUE`. The only way which I find I can do this was using xml file which looks like this : ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="oval" android:padding="10dp"> <!-- you can use any color you want I used here gray color--> <solid android:color="#cccccc"/> <corners android:bottomRightRadius="10dp" android:bottomLeftRadius="10dp" android:topLeftRadius="10dp" android:topRightRadius="10dp"/> </shape> ``` and after that when `myValue` is changing to set my `ImageView` image resource. But in this way I have to create 35 different xml files...which I don't think is a good idea. So anyone who can suggest better solution to do this?
