Android Button Drawable Tint


Answer :

You can achieve coloring the drawableleft on a button with this method:

Step 1: Create a drawable resource file with bitmap as parent element as shown below and name it as ic_action_landscape.xml under the drawable folder

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:src="@android:drawable/ic_btn_speak_now"     android:tint="@color/white" />

Step 2: Create your Button control in your layout as below

<Button         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:backgroundTint="@color/md_light_green_500"         android:drawableLeft="@drawable/ic_action_landscape"         android:drawablePadding="8dp"         android:fontFamily="sans-serif"         android:gravity="left|center_vertical"         android:stateListAnimator="@null"         android:text="@string/drawer_quizzes"         android:textColor="#fff"         android:textSize="12dp" />

The button gets the drawable from the ic_action_landscape.xml from the drawable folder instead of @android:drawable or drawable png(s).

Method 2:
Step 1:
You can even add the icon as a Action Bar and Tab icons with Foreground as Image that can be imported from a custom location or a Clipart

Step 2:
Under Theme dropdown select Custom

Step 3:
Then select the color as #FFFFFF in the Foreground color selection. Method 2 Pictorial representation

Finally finish the wizard to add the image, then add the drawable as an image.

Pictorial representation for answer to the question


I know there are lots of answers already, but non of them made me happy since I didn't want to have different drawables for different styles of elements.

So my solution was to set color filter in constructor like this:

int textColor = getTextColors().getColorForState(EMPTY_STATE_SET, Color.WHITE);     Drawable[] drawables = getCompoundDrawablesRelative();     for (Drawable drawable : drawables) {         if(drawable != null) {             drawable.setColorFilter(textColor, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);         }     }

I used text color because this was what I need, but it can be replaced with custom attribute to be more dinamic.


I was able to accomplish this same exact thing using a MaterialButton (from the material support library, which most people are probably using already). MaterialButton has an attribute named icon which can be placed left/center/right (default left). It also has an attribute called iconTint which will tint the icon.

Gradle:

implementation "com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0-alpha09"

View:

<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton     android:layout_width="0dp"     android:layout_weight="1"     android:text="@string/drawer_quizzes"     android:backgroundTint="@color/md_light_green_500"     android:stateListAnimator="@null"     android:textColor="#fff"     android:textSize="12dp"     android:fontFamily="sans-serif"     app:icon="@drawable/ic_action_landscape"     app:iconTint="@color/white"     android:gravity="left|center_vertical"     android:drawablePadding="8dp"     />

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
