Change drawable color programmatically

Try this:

Drawable unwrappedDrawable = AppCompatResources.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.my_drawable); 
Drawable wrappedDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(unwrappedDrawable);
DrawableCompat.setTint(wrappedDrawable, Color.RED);    

Using DrawableCompat is important because it provides backwards compatibility and bug fixes on API 22 devices and earlier.


You can try this for svg vector drawable

DrawableCompat.setTint(
    DrawableCompat.wrap(myImageView.getDrawable()),
    ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.another_nice_color)
);
