Android: Tint using DrawableCompat

by

In case anyone needs to use DrawableCompat‘s tinting without affecting other drawables, here’s how you do it with mutate():

Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.some_drawable);
Drawable wrappedDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(drawable);
wrappedDrawable = wrappedDrawable.mutate();
DrawableCompat.setTint(wrappedDrawable, getResources().getColor(R.color.white));

Which can be simplified to:

Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.some_drawable);
drawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(drawable);
DrawableCompat.setTint(drawable.mutate(), getResources().getColor(R.color.white));
