Set android shape color programmatically

Question

I am editing to make the question simpler  hoping that helps towards an accurate answer   Say I have the following oval shape    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt shape xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  android shape  oval  gt       lt solid android angle  270             android color   FFFF0000   gt       lt stroke android width  3dp              android color   FFAA0055   gt   lt  shape gt    How do I set the color programmatically  from within an activity class

A simpler solution nowadays would be to use your shape as a background and then programmatically change its color via:

view.background.setColorFilter(Color.parseColor("#343434"), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP)

See PorterDuff.Mode for the available options.

UPDATE (API 29):

The above method is deprecated since API 29 and replaced by the following:

view.background.colorFilter = BlendModeColorFilter(Color.parseColor("#343434"), BlendMode.SRC_ATOP)

See BlendMode for the available options.

May be I am too late But if you are using Kotlin  There is way like this  var gd   layoutMain background as GradientDrawable     gd setCornerRadius 10    gd setColor ContextCompat getColor ctx   R color lightblue     gd setStroke 1  ContextCompat getColor ctx   R color colorPrimary       Strokewidth colorId    Enjoy

For anyone using C  Xamarin  here is a method based on Vikram s snippet   private void SetDrawableColor Drawable drawable  Android Graphics Color color        switch  drawable                case ShapeDrawable sd              sd Paint Color   color              break          case GradientDrawable gd              gd SetColor color               break          case ColorDrawable cd              cd Color   color              break

Note  Answer has been updated to cover the scenario where background is an instance of ColorDrawable  Thanks Tyler Pfaff  for pointing this out      The drawable is an oval and is the background of an ImageView   Get the Drawable from imageView using getBackground     Drawable background   imageView getBackground      Check against usual suspects   if  background instanceof ShapeDrawable           cast to  ShapeDrawable      ShapeDrawable shapeDrawable    ShapeDrawable  background      shapeDrawable getPaint   setColor ContextCompat getColor mContext R color colorToSet      else if  background instanceof GradientDrawable           cast to  GradientDrawable      GradientDrawable gradientDrawable    GradientDrawable  background      gradientDrawable setColor ContextCompat getColor mContext R color colorToSet      else if  background instanceof ColorDrawable           alpha value may need to be set again after this call     ColorDrawable colorDrawable    ColorDrawable  background      colorDrawable setColor ContextCompat getColor mContext R color colorToSet        Compact version   Drawable background   imageView getBackground    if  background instanceof ShapeDrawable          ShapeDrawable background  getPaint   setColor ContextCompat getColor mContext R color colorToSet      else if  background instanceof GradientDrawable          GradientDrawable background  setColor ContextCompat getColor mContext R color colorToSet      else if  background instanceof ColorDrawable          ColorDrawable background  setColor ContextCompat getColor mContext R color colorToSet        Note that null-checking is not required   However  you should use mutate   on the drawables before modifying them if they are used elsewhere   By default  drawables loaded from XML share the same state

This question was answered a while back  but it can modernized by rewriting as a kotlin extension function    fun Drawable overrideColor  ColorInt colorInt  Int        when  this            is GradientDrawable - gt  setColor colorInt          is ShapeDrawable - gt  paint color   colorInt         is ColorDrawable - gt  color   colorInt

this is the solution that works for me   wrote it in another question as well  How to change shape color dynamically     get the image button by id ImageButton myImg    ImageButton  findViewById R id some id      get drawable from image button GradientDrawable drawable    GradientDrawable  myImg getDrawable       set color as integer   can use Color parseColor color  if color is a string drawable setColor color

Expanding on Vikram s answer  if you are coloring dynamic views  like recycler view items  etc     Then you probably want to call mutate   before you set the color  If you don t do this  any views that have a common drawable  i e a background  will also have their drawable changed colored   public static void setBackgroundColorAndRetainShape final int color  final Drawable background         if  background instanceof ShapeDrawable              ShapeDrawable  background mutate    getPaint   setColor color         else if  background instanceof GradientDrawable              GradientDrawable  background mutate    setColor color         else if  background instanceof ColorDrawable              ColorDrawable  background mutate    setColor color        else          Log w TAG  Not a valid background type
