Answer 1

getResources().getDrawable( R.drawable.button );

is now deprecated. Can also do it this way:

((ImageView) findViewById(R.id.my_icon))
  .setColorFilter(new LightingColorFilter(Color.BLUE, Color.BLUE));

Answer 2

This is how I solved this issue :

1. Declare an ImageView with src="@drawable/button"
2. Create a Drawable and set ColorFilter to it and after that use it as src to your declared ImageView like this :

>

Drawable myIcon = getResources().getDrawable( R.drawable.button );
ColorFilter filter = new LightingColorFilter( Color.BLUE, Color.BLUE );
myIcon.setColorFilter(filter);
color.setImageDrawable(myIcon);

Answer 3

Should you this.

Drawable myIcon = getResources().getDrawable( R.drawable.button ); 
ColorFilter filter = new LightingColorFilter( Color.BLACK, Color.BLACK);
myIcon.setColorFilter(filter);

Answer 4

This solution doesn't work very well for me. In some images the final color was wrong. I use this solution instead:

Drawable myIcon = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.your_image); 
myIcon.setColorFilter(Color.BLUE, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP); 
((ImageView)findViewById(R.id.view_to_change)).setImageDrawable(myIcon);

Answer 5

You can use a TransitionDrawable to achieve this - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/TransitionDrawable.html
