how to set `app:backgroundTint` for Textview programatically?

Question

I am trying to add tint to my normal Textview not AppCompatTextView. I can add backgroundTint in xml using app:backgroundTint for it. Is there a way to do the same programatically for Textview itself.(I am targeting kitkat support)

Note: I have more Textview. so changing all of them will be over work

setSupportButtonTintListonly works for AppCompat controls. setBackgroundTintList shows no result in kitkat

Answer 1

This works for me

someTextView.getBackground().setTint(yourIntColor);

Answer 2

Note

Added in version 23.1.1 So you can't use in 19

For AppCompat , You can use setSupportButtonTintList

void setSupportButtonTintList (ColorStateList tint)

tvOBJ.setSupportButtonTintList(ContextCompat.getColorStateList(CurrentActivity.this, R.color.your_color));
