'Set FAB icon color

current FAB

I would like to know how to change the icon color of the FAB (Floating Action Button) widget supplied by the 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0' library from green to white.

style.xml

<resources>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/color_primary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/color_primary_dark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/accent</item>

</style>
<color name="color_primary">#00B33C</color>
<color name="color_primary_dark">#006622</color>
<color name="accent">#FFB366</color>

UPDATE 2

If you are using com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton, use app:tint

app:tint="@android:color/white"

UPDATE

Refer to the answer of @Saleem Khan which is the standard way to set the app:tint using:

android:tint="@android:color/white"

via XML on FloatingActionButton.

OLD (June 2015)

This answer was written before October 2015, when android:tint on FloatingActionButton was supported only with API >= 21.

You can change it programmatically using ColorFilter.

//get the drawable
Drawable myFabSrc = getResources().getDrawable(android.R.drawable.ic_input_add);
//copy it in a new one
Drawable willBeWhite = myFabSrc.getConstantState().newDrawable();
//set the color filter, you can use also Mode.SRC_ATOP
willBeWhite.mutate().setColorFilter(Color.WHITE, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);
//set it to your fab button initialized before
myFabName.setImageDrawable(willBeWhite);

Solution 2:^[2]

Using android:tint property you can set the color like this

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
    android:id="@+id/fab"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
    android:tint="@android:color/white"
    android:src="@android:drawable/ic_input_add"
   />

Solution 3:^[3]

If you are using Material Components

<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
    android:id="@+id/fab"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="16dp"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
    app:fabSize="normal"
    app:tint="@color/colorAccent"
    app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_google"/>

If you want to use icon default color, change app:tint="@null"

Solution 4:^[4]

You have to change app:tint for that to work. android:tint didn't do any change for me.

Solution 5:^[5]

It's easier than get the drawables, you only need to access to the color filter and set it to the color that you want.

FloatingActionButton myFab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.myfabid);

myFab.setColorFilter(Color.WHITE);

Solution 6:^[6]

Since FloatingActionButton extends ImageView we can use ImageViewCompat to tint the icon:

ImageViewCompat.setImageTintList(
    floatingActionButton,
    ColorStateList.valueOf(Color.WHITE)
);

Solution 7:^[7]

Use the white version of ic_add from the google design site.

android:tint looks like a clean solution but it is not supported below API level 21

Using a bitmap adds less complexity to your app than attempting to change the color of an existing icon programmatically. Less complexity means fewer things to test :)

Solution 8:^[8]

If you are using material FAB use app:tint to change the color of the icon instead of android:tint

Solution 9:^[9]

If you want to change the color of the icon in CollapsingToolbarLayout use the following code

app:tint="@color/white"

Use the app instead of Android

Solution 10:^[10]

Try this code

    <com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
       android:id="@+id/fab"
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
       android:backgroundTint="@color/sm_blue"
       app:tint="@color/white"
       android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
       app:srcCompat="@android:drawable/ic_input_add" />

Result

Solution 11:^[11]

 <com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
    android:id="@+id/add_loan"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="@dimen/medium"
    android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
    android:backgroundTint="@color/ci_blue"
    android:theme="@style/fabtheme"
    app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_baseline_add_24"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="1"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:rippleColor="@color/white" />

theme

<style name="fabtheme" parent="Widget.Design.FloatingActionButton">
    <item name="colorOnSecondary">@color/white</item>
</style>

use the attribute

app:tint="@color/white"

Solution 12:^[12]

You can make your custom style:

<style name="FloatingButton" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.FloatingActionButton">
        <item name="colorSecondary">@color/red</item>
        <item name="colorOnSecondary">@color/white</item>
</style>

Where colorSecondary is the background and colorOnSecondary is the color of the drawable of the button.

<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_phone"
            android:theme="@style/FloatingButton" />

Solution 13:^[13]

For API >= 21

My Solution to change FloatingActionButton icon color programmatically

val fab = FloatingActionButton(requireContext())
fab.apply {
  if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
        imageTintList = ColorStateList.valueOf(Color.WHITE)
}

Solution 14:^[14]

If you are using material FAB, you can style it programmatically using the below code in Kotlin.

fab.supportImageTintList = ContextCompat.getColorStateList(context, R.color.fab_icon_tint)

Solution 15:^[15]

If you are using com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton

Then

To change Background Color of Floating Action Button, use app:backgroundTint
To change Floating Action Button's Icon's color, use app:tint

To change Floating Action Button's Icon Drawable, use app:srcCompat

 <com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 app:backgroundTint="@color/white"
 app:srcCompat="@drawable/fb_icon"
 app:tint="@android:color/black" />

Solution 16:^[16]

If you use Extended, set app:iconTint you can do like this:

<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.ExtendedFloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/fAB"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:focusable="true"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:icon="@drawable/d0"
        app:iconTint="@color/white"
        app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="@style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.Material3.FloatingActionButton"
        tools:ignore="SpeakableTextPresentCheck" />

Solution 17:^[17]

In Java

private FloatingActionButton login;
login = findViewById(R.id.loginbtn);  
login.setColorFilter(android.R.color.white);

In XML

<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
    android:id="@+id/loginbtn"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:backgroundTint="@color/colorPrimaryDark"
    android:src="@drawable/loginicon"
    app:rippleColor="@color/white"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/pass_l" />
