Drawable tinting for api <21

Question

Is it possible to make drawable tinting work for api < 21?

Answer 1

This will do as you want, and should work on all Android versions of the support library:

@JvmStatic
fun getTintedDrawable(inputDrawable: Drawable, @ColorInt color: Int): Drawable {
    val wrapDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(inputDrawable.mutate())
    DrawableCompat.setTint(wrapDrawable, color)
    DrawableCompat.setTintMode(wrapDrawable, Mode.SRC_IN)
    return wrapDrawable
}
