Understanding the Use of ColorMatrix and ColorMatrixColorFilter to Modify a Drawable's Hue

This is what I use for my game. This is the compilation of various part found on various articles on websites. Credits goes to the original author from the @see links. Note that a lot more can be done with color matrices. Including inverting, etc...

{
    /**

 * @param value degrees to shift the hue.

public static ColorFilter adjustHue( float value )
{
    ColorMatrix cm = new ColorMatrix();

    adjustHue(cm, value);

    return new ColorMatrixColorFilter(cm);
}

    value = cleanValue(value, 180f) / 180f * (float) Math.PI;
    if (value == 0)
    {
        return;
    }
    float cosVal = (float) Math.cos(value);
    float sinVal = (float) Math.sin(value);
    float lumR = 0.213f;
    float lumG = 0.715f;
    float lumB = 0.072f;
    float[] mat = new float[]
    { 
            lumR + cosVal * (1 - lumR) + sinVal * (-lumR), lumG + cosVal * (-lumG) + sinVal * (-lumG), lumB + cosVal * (-lumB) + sinVal * (1 - lumB), 0, 0, 
            lumR + cosVal * (-lumR) + sinVal * (0.143f), lumG + cosVal * (1 - lumG) + sinVal * (0.140f), lumB + cosVal * (-lumB) + sinVal * (-0.283f), 0, 0,
            lumR + cosVal * (-lumR) + sinVal * (-(1 - lumR)), lumG + cosVal * (-lumG) + sinVal * (lumG), lumB + cosVal * (1 - lumB) + sinVal * (lumB), 0, 0, 
            0f, 0f, 0f, 1f, 0f, 
            0f, 0f, 0f, 0f, 1f };
    cm.postConcat(new ColorMatrix(mat));
}

protected static float cleanValue(float p_val, float p_limit)
{
    return Math.min(p_limit, Math.max(-p_limit, p_val));
}
}

To complete this I should add an example:

ImageView Sun = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.sun);
Sun.setColorFilter(ColorFilterGenerator.adjustHue(162)); // 162 degree rotation

here is the complete code if you want to adjust the bright, contrast, saturation and hue. Enjoy! Thanks a lot to @RichardLalancette

For anyone who is interested in how to use the ColorMatrixColorFilter. The sample I used here, converted every pixel into red when I draw the bitmap on the canvas.

The comment in the class is from: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/ColorMatrix.html this gives you some insights on how this is working

@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {

    // The matrix is stored in a single array, and its treated as follows: [ a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t ]
    // When applied to a color [r, g, b, a], the resulting color is computed as (after clamping) ;
    //   R' = a*R + b*G + c*B + d*A + e; 
    //   G' = f*R + g*G + h*B + i*A + j; 
    //   B' = k*R + l*G + m*B + n*A + o; 
    //   A' = p*R + q*G + r*B + s*A + t; 

    Paint paint = new Paint();
    float[] matrix = { 
        1, 1, 1, 1, 1, //red
        0, 0, 0, 0, 0, //green
        0, 0, 0, 0, 0, //blue
        1, 1, 1, 1, 1 //alpha
    };
    paint.setColorFilter(new ColorMatrixColorFilter(matrix));

    Rect source = new Rect(0, 0, 100, 100);
    Rect dest = new Rect(0, 0, 100, 100);

    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.sampleimage);
    canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap , source, dest, paint);
}
