Tint VectorDrawable inside Drawable Resource xml

You can define colors as attributes and reference them in your SVG. Then can load the drawable styled by a theme.

Short example:

attributes.xml

<declare-styleable name="vectorColors">    <attr name="primaryColor" format="color" />    <attr name="secondaryColor" format="color" /></declare-styleable>

ic_icon.xml

<path    android:fillColor="?attr/primaryColor"    android:pathData="...." /><path    android:fillColor="?attr/secondaryColor"    android:pathData="...." />

styles.xml

<style name="svgColors">    <item name="primaryColor">@color/someColor</item>     <!-- also can use #RRGGBB way -->    <item name="secondaryColor">#ff0000</item></style>

Then load your theme and drawable:

Resources.Theme theme = getResources().newTheme();theme.applyStyle(R.style.svgColors, false);VectorDrawableCompat drawable = VectorDrawableCompat.create(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_icon, theme);imageView.setImageDrawable(drawable);

In your specific selector you should replace

<item>    <bitmap        android:src="@drawable/ic_icon"        android:tint="@color/white"/></item>

by <item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_icon">
