How to change color of vector drawable path on button click

With the new android support update, vector drawables get backward compatibility. I have a vector image with various paths. I want the color of the paths to change on click of a button or programmatically based on an input value. Is it possible to access the name parameter of the vector path? And then change the color.

Solution

  • Use this to change a path color in your vector drawable

    VectorChildFinder vector = new VectorChildFinder(this, R.drawable.my_vector, imageView);

VectorDrawableCompat.VFullPath path1 = vector.findPathByName("path1");
path1.setFillColor(Color.RED);

    Library is here: https://github.com/devsideal/VectorChildFinder
