Answer 1

I also use ImageView for icons (in ListView or settings screen). But I think there is much simpler way to do that.

Use tint to change the color overlay on your selected icon.

In xml,

android:tint="@color/accent"
android:src="@drawable/ic_event" 

works fine since it comes from AppCompat

Answer 2

Give this code a try:

ImageView lineColorCode = (ImageView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.line_color_code);
int color = Color.parseColor("#AE6118"); //The color u want             
lineColorCode.setColorFilter(color);

Answer 3

I know this question was ask way before Lollipop but I would like to add a nice way to do this on Android 5.+. You make an xml drawable that references the original one and set tint on it like such:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bitmap
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_back"
    android:tint="@color/red_tint"/>
