Programmatically change color of shape in layer list

Question

How can I programmatically change the color (#000000) of a shape in a layer list?

Here is my layer list:

Answer 1

First of all you need to assign id to you layer-list item.

Then get your shape by id.

LayerDrawable shape = (LayerDrawable) getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.your_shape)

And you can change the color of your shape by calling

shape.setColor(Color.Black); // changing to black color

EDIT

As getDrawable() has been deprecated. Use the following line of code.

LayerDrawable shape = (LayerDrawable) ContextCompat.getDrawable(YourActivity.this,R.drawable.your_shape)
