How to set tint for an image view programmatically in android?

android, imageview, tint

Solution

UPDATE: @ADev has newer solution in his answer here, but his solution requires newer support library - 25.4.0 or above.

You can change the tint, quite easily in code via:

`imageView.setColorFilter(Color.argb(255, 255, 255, 255));` // White Tint

If you want color tint then

imageView.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.COLOR_YOUR_COLOR), android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);

For Vector Drawable

imageView.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.COLOR_YOUR_COLOR), android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);

Problem

Need to set tint for an image view... I am using it the following way: ``` imageView.setColorFilter(R.color.blue,android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY); ``` But it doesn't change...
