You can use vector graphics on Android and change the graphic color with code. In this way, it is not necessary to use different graphics for each color.

The actions I wanted to do were:

- Being able to choose colors for a folder list and folder icons in the list.
- Using a single vector graphic.



My actions:

I downloaded an icon from FontAwesome in SVG format.

Then it was necessary to transfer it to Android Studio. But the format drawable of the icon I downloaded for this process is incompatible. I used the svg2android tool to SVG convert it to the appropriate format. In this way, I converted the Site to Drawable XML format and included it in the project. SVG

In order to use it properly in Layout, I converted it to XML as src and added the folder icon that I added to the project. We can specify the color we want to give the gold as the tint . Of course, we can change this color programmatically afterwards.

I am using the layout here as ListView row. I can define a different color for the icon in each line. The name of the model I use is Folder . There is a title and color data for each folder model. The folder.getColor() in the code is the hex color code of the current folder. Example: #FF0000

We convert hex color code to int color code with color.parseColor(folder.getColor()) . Then we change the color of the graphic using the android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN mode with setColorFilter

holder.folder.setColorFilter(Color.parseColor(folder.getColor()), android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
