How to change color of vector drawable path on button click

Question

With the new android support update, vector drawables get backward compatibility. I have a vector image with various paths. I want the color of the paths to change on click

Answer 1

The color of the whole vector can be changed using setTint.

You have to set up your ImageView in your layout file as this:

Then to change the color of your image:

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

Note: myImageView.getDrawable() gives nullpointerexception if the vector drawable is set to the imageView as background.
