How to use selector to tint ImageView?

Question

I want to tint my tabhost\'s icons using XML, instead of doing it programmatically (I wasn\'t able to do that anyway)...

I found this thread on SO: Android imagevie

Answer 1

I agree with @Dreaming in Code and I will give an example.

ic_up_small

layout/item_post_count_info.xml

Attention: We should use app:tint instead of android:tint.

My support library version is 26.0.2.

app/build.gradle

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.2'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-core-utils:26.0.2'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-annotations:26.0.2'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.0.2'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:26.0.2'

If we use android:tint, it will crash and the log is like this:
