How to change the color of shape set in imageview

Question

Now problem starts with just setting the color of a shape. I created one rectangle shape in drawable and set it to ImageView like this

<LinearLayout 
        android:layout_width="0dp" 
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
        android:orientation="vertical" 
        android:layout_weight="0.15" 
        android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
        android:gravity="center_vertical">
       <ImageView 
        android:id="@+id/iv_priority"
        android:src="@drawable/case_priority"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>

EDIT

My case_priority.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:shape="rectangle">
  <solid android:color="#009600" />
  <size android:width="30dp"
        android:height="30dp" />
</shape>

now I need to change the color of this shape. Actually this color is coming from web service, and I need to change it. So My Question is: How can we change color of this shape programmatically. and set it to imageview. I have gone through few examples in stackoverflow but I am not able to change it to image view.Please Help!!!! Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

May be I was not clear in my question, So Just a refinement to question . Actually I have a ImageView where I set a source which is actually a drawable. By default its green as in my code shown above. Now web service returns the color of this image view which needs to be changed accordingly , so I can't change it from xml during runtime so I need to change it from java file. Since I am using shape and image view, .setBackground() won't help much here. So What can be the probable solution for this. Thanks for answer and sorry for inconvenience.

Answer 1

Thanx for all the answers.It helped me getting to answer.

In My layout I changed android:src="" to android:background="@drawable/case_priority" And in my java file I n=included this code:->

        Resources res = getResources();
        final Drawable drawable = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.case_priority);
        drawable.setColorFilter(Color.YELLOW, Mode.SRC_ATOP);
        ImageView img = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.iv_priority);
        img.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);

that's it. Hope it will someone.

Have a look here

Instead of creating the Shape in code you can use inflate to inflate your XML if you want.
