Change fill color on vector asset in Android Studio
Don't edit the vector assets directly. If you're using a vector drawable in an ImageButton, just choose your color in android:tint
.
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="48dp"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:id="@+id/button"
android:src="@drawable/ic_more_vert_24dp"
android:tint="@color/primary" />
You can do it.
BUT you cannot use @color references for colors (..lame), otherwise it will work only for L+
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="24dp"
android:height="24dp"
android:viewportWidth="24.0"
android:viewportHeight="24.0">
<path
android:fillColor="#FFAABB"
android:pathData="M15.5,14h-0.79l-0.28,-0.27C15.41,12.59 16,11.11 16,9.5 16,5.91 13.09,3 9.5,3S3,5.91 3,9.5 5.91,16 9.5,16c1.61,0 3.09,-0.59 4.23,-1.57l0.27,0.28v0.79l5,4.99L20.49,19l-4.99,-5zm-6,0C7.01,14 5,11.99 5,9.5S7.01,5 9.5,5 14,7.01 14,9.5 11.99,14 9.5,14z"/>
To change vector image color you can directly use android:tint="@color/colorAccent"
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/ivVectorImage"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/ic_account_circle_black_24dp"
android:tint="@color/colorAccent" />
To change color programatically
ImageView ivVectorImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ivVectorImage);
ivVectorImage.setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimary));
As said in other answers, don't edit the vector drawable directly, instead you can tint in java code, like that:
mWrappedDrawable = mDrawable.mutate();
mWrappedDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(mWrappedDrawable);
DrawableCompat.setTint(mWrappedDrawable, mColor);
DrawableCompat.setTintMode(mWrappedDrawable, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
And for the sake of simplicity, I have created a helper class:
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.PorterDuff;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.os.Build;
import android.support.annotation.ColorRes;
import android.support.annotation.DrawableRes;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat;
import android.support.v4.graphics.drawable.DrawableCompat;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ImageView;
/**
* {@link Drawable} helper class.

* @author Filipe Bezerra

*/
public class DrawableHelper {
@NonNull Context mContext;
@ColorRes private int mColor;
private Drawable mDrawable;
private Drawable mWrappedDrawable;
public DrawableHelper(@NonNull Context context) {
mContext = context;
}
public static DrawableHelper withContext(@NonNull Context context) {
return new DrawableHelper(context);
}
public DrawableHelper withDrawable(@DrawableRes int drawableRes) {
mDrawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(mContext, drawableRes);
return this;
}
public DrawableHelper withDrawable(@NonNull Drawable drawable) {
mDrawable = drawable;
return this;
}
public DrawableHelper withColor(@ColorRes int colorRes) {
mColor = ContextCompat.getColor(mContext, colorRes);
return this;
}
public DrawableHelper tint() {
if (mDrawable == null) {
throw new NullPointerException("É preciso informar o recurso drawable pelo método withDrawable()");
}
if (mColor == 0) {
throw new IllegalStateException("É necessário informar a cor a ser definida pelo método withColor()");
}
mWrappedDrawable = mDrawable.mutate();
mWrappedDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(mWrappedDrawable);
DrawableCompat.setTint(mWrappedDrawable, mColor);
DrawableCompat.setTintMode(mWrappedDrawable, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
return this;
}
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public void applyToBackground(@NonNull View view) {
if (mWrappedDrawable == null) {
throw new NullPointerException("É preciso chamar o método tint()");
}
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
view.setBackground(mWrappedDrawable);
} else {
view.setBackgroundDrawable(mWrappedDrawable);
}
}
public void applyTo(@NonNull ImageView imageView) {
if (mWrappedDrawable == null) {
throw new NullPointerException("É preciso chamar o método tint()");
}
imageView.setImageDrawable(mWrappedDrawable);
}
public void applyTo(@NonNull MenuItem menuItem) {
if (mWrappedDrawable == null) {
throw new NullPointerException("É preciso chamar o método tint()");
}
menuItem.setIcon(mWrappedDrawable);
}
public Drawable get() {
if (mWrappedDrawable == null) {
throw new NullPointerException("É preciso chamar o método tint()");
}
return mWrappedDrawable;
}
}
To use just do the following:
DrawableHelper
.withContext(this)
.withColor(R.color.white)
.withDrawable(R.drawable.ic_search_24dp)
.tint()
.applyTo(mSearchItem);
Or:
final Drawable drawable = DrawableHelper
.withContext(this)
.withColor(R.color.white)
.withDrawable(R.drawable.ic_search_24dp)
.tint()
.get();
actionBar.setHomeAsUpIndicator(drawable);
