Changing tint color of Android EditText programmatically

Question

I am trying to change the tinting color of an EditText View programmatically during runtime. Basically i want to change what you would usually apply as ?attr/

Answer 1

setColorFilter not working for me. I used:

Drawable wrappedDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(mView.getBackground());
DrawableCompat.setTint(wrappedDrawable, getResources().getColor(R.color.red));
mView.setBackgroundDrawable(wrappedDrawable);

or

DrawableCompat.setTint(mView.getBackground(), ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.red));

Let's try.
