Answer 1

I was having issues with setColorFilter on a Samsung S3 running 4.3 and the only way I could get the filter to work was by applying it in the draw(Canvas canvas) method:

public class ColouredDrawable extends BitmapDrawable {

private ColorFilter mColorFilter;

public ColouredDrawable(Bitmap toTransform, int toColour, Resources resources) {
    super(resources, toTransform);
    float[] matrix = {
            0, 0, 0, 0, ((toColour & 0xFF0000) / 0xFFFF),
            0, 0, 0, 0, ((toColour & 0xFF00) / 0xFF),
            0, 0, 0, 0, (toColour & 0xFF),
            0, 0, 0, 1, 0 };
    mColorFilter = new ColorMatrixColorFilter(matrix);
}

@Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
    setColorFilter(mColorFilter);
    super.draw(canvas);
}

Simple applying setColorFilter to the BitmapDrawable didn't seem to have any effect.
