Imageview set color filter to gradient

You have to get Bitmap of your ImageView and redraw same Bitmap with Shader

public void clickButton(View v){    Bitmap myBitmap = ((BitmapDrawable)myImageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();    Bitmap newBitmap = addGradient(myBitmap);    myImageView.setImageDrawable(new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), newBitmap));}public Bitmap addGradient(Bitmap originalBitmap) {    int width = originalBitmap.getWidth();    int height = originalBitmap.getHeight();    Bitmap updatedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(updatedBitmap);    canvas.drawBitmap(originalBitmap, 0, 0, null);    Paint paint = new Paint();    LinearGradient shader = new LinearGradient(0, 0, 0, height, 0xFFF0D252, 0xFFF07305, Shader.TileMode.CLAMP);    paint.setShader(shader);    paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN));    canvas.drawRect(0, 0, width, height, paint);    return updatedBitmap;}

UPDATE 3I changed: colors of gradient, LinearGradient width = 0 and PorterDuffXfermode.Here a good picture to understand PorterDuffXfermode:

You could use a selector

main_header.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><LinearLayout         xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/.    android"    android:layout_width="fill_parent"    android:layout_height="50dip"    android:orientation="horizontal"    android:background="@drawable/main_header_selector"> </LinearLayout>

main_header_selector.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><selector     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/.     android"><item>    <shape>        <gradient        android:angle="90"        android:startColor="#FFFF0000"        android:endColor="#FF00FF00"        android:type="linear" />    </shape></item></selector>

The same background can be applied to an ImageView.

To define and use selector dynamically, refer to this link :Dynamically defining and using selectors

Create a XML file , and place it in the drawable folder .

gradient.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:shape="rectangle"><gradient    android:startColor="#CCb1e7fa"    android:centerColor="#B3ffffff"    android:endColor="#CCb1e7fa"    android:angle="180" /><corners android:radius="5dp" /></shape>

Next add this as a background to your image view

    <ImageView            android:id="@+id/umageview1"            android:layout_width="100dp"            android:layout_height="100dp"            android:background="@drawable/gradient"            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"            />
