Changing color in a shape inside a layer-list programmatically
Ok I found the answer, I just had to put the id of the shape inside the item not in the shape kachel_ticked_style.xml: <item android:id=”@+id/selectable_kachel_shape”> <shape android:shape=”rectangle” > <stroke android:width=”5dp” android:color=”@color/headrbar_color” /> </shape> </item> And then you can change either the color of the shape calling shape.setColor or the color of the stroke calling shape.setStroke(strokeWidth,strokeColor)
