Answer 1

You can achieve coloring the drawableleft on a button with this method:

Step 1: Create a drawable resource file with bitmap as parent element as shown below and name it as ic_action_landscape.xml under the drawable folder

Step 2: Create your Button control in your layout as below

The button gets the drawable from the ic_action_landscape.xml from the drawable folder instead of @android:drawable or drawable png(s).

Method 2:
Step 1:
You can even add the icon as a Action Bar and Tab icons with Foreground as Image that can be imported from a custom location or a Clipart

Step 2:
Under Theme dropdown select Custom

Step 3:
Then select the color as #FFFFFF in the Foreground color selection.

Finally finish the wizard to add the image, then add the drawable as an image.
