We have an imageView whose background has a vector asset drawable(ic_star.xml). When I change the background tint of this imageView programatically with a custom color like below, it causes to change the color of imageViews on other pages using this vector assset. In other words, whatever color I set last, that color stays on all other screens. I think this function directly affects the vector asset used throughout the application.
binding.imageView.background.setTint(Color.parseColor("#0E8E1D"))}
In addition, when I use android:backgroundTint attribute in XML, this problem does not occur. Other pages are not affected. But since I get the colors from the api, I have to do it programmatically. We do not prefer to use databinding in our project as it increases the build time. That's why I can't handle this with binding expression.
I found a solution when I wanted to look at the effect of the imageView.background.setTint(color : Int) function in a simple app. I wasn't too sure if it was the right solution. backgroundTintList property worked like android:backgroundTint attribute in xml.
binding.imageView.backgroundTintList = ColorStateList.valueOf(Color.parseColor("#0E8E1D"))
You can review my example app in github and try the difference imageView.backgroundTintList and imageView.background.setTint() methods. I'm waiting for your comments.
