How to tint a Bitmap to a solid color
Just to give a more complete answer.
This will take a bitmap and output a new tinted bitmap:
public static Bitmap tintImage(Bitmap bitmap, int color) { Paint paint = new Paint(); paint.setColorFilter(new PorterDuffColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN)); Bitmap bitmapResult = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), Config.ARGB_8888); Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmapResult); canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, paint); return bitmapResult;}
If your bitmap is a drawable that you want to use in a layout, then you can make a new drawable (.xml) that references your original drawable (e.g .png).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:src="@drawable/plus" android:tint="#2c53e5" />
