Is there an equivalent to setColorFilter() in XML?

Question

I'd like to know if a ColorFilter can be set in the XML of a View or if the only way is to use setColorFilter() in Java.

Answer 1

There is; it's called tint. It's not available on View but is on ImageView and ImageButton.

If you want to use it with a selector this answer helped me a bunch.

Answer 2

You can use:

android:tint="@color/white"

Answer 3

According to the documentation http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/ColorFilter.html there is no corresponding xml version for ColorFilter.

I also searched for attributes in documentation with the keys 'color' and 'filter' http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.attr.html
