Tint Android vector menu icons through XML -


i've read answers , blog posts explaining vectordrawables in android , how can used instead of png files of different pixel densities.

i've seen there android:tint xml attribute can used on imagebuttons , similar views, want able apply tint vector icons use menu items, unable use android:tint on menu items.

one blog post explained tinted drawables can created so:

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

where xml file above tinted drawable, referenced drawable through src original vector (black), , tint colour icon tinted to.

however, above did not work me, giving me following error:

android.content.res.resources$notfoundexception: file res/drawable/ic_chevron_left_white_24dp.xml drawable resource id #0x7f02007e     @ android.content.res.resources.loaddrawableforcookie(resources.java:3735)     @ android.content.res.resources.loaddrawable(resources.java:3603)     @ android.content.res.resources.getdrawable(resources.java:1852)     @ android.content.context.getdrawable(context.java:408)     @ android.support.v4.content.contextcompatapi21.getdrawable(contextcompatapi21.java:26)     @ android.support.v4.content.contextcompat.getdrawable(contextcompat.java:352)     @ android.support.v7.widget.appcompatdrawablemanager.getdrawable(appcompatdrawablemanager.java:193)     @ android.support.v7.widget.appcompatdrawablemanager.getdrawable(appcompatdrawablemanager.java:181)     @ ...  caused by: org.xmlpull.v1.xmlpullparserexception: binary xml file line #2: <bitmap> requires valid src attribute     @ android.graphics.drawable.bitmapdrawable.updatestatefromtypedarray(bitmapdrawable.java:761)     @ android.graphics.drawable.bitmapdrawable.inflate(bitmapdrawable.java:726)     @ android.graphics.drawable.drawable.createfromxmlinner(drawable.java:1150)     @ android.graphics.drawable.drawable.createfromxml(drawable.java:1063)     @ android.content.res.resources.loaddrawableforcookie(resources.java:3719)     @ android.content.res.resources.loaddrawable(resources.java:3603)      @ android.content.res.resources.getdrawable(resources.java:1852)      @ android.content.context.getdrawable(context.java:408)      @ android.support.v4.content.contextcompatapi21.getdrawable(contextcompatapi21.java:26)      @ android.support.v4.content.contextcompat.getdrawable(contextcompat.java:352)      @ android.support.v7.widget.appcompatdrawablemanager.getdrawable(appcompatdrawablemanager.java:193)      @ android.support.v7.widget.appcompatdrawablemanager.getdrawable(appcompatdrawablemanager.java:181)      @ ... 

edit: drawable ic_chevron_left_white_24dp.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <bitmap     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:src="@drawable/ic_chevron_left_black_24dp"     android:tint="@color/white"/> 

both above file, , referenced 1 exist.


furthermore, above, ide (android studio) displays warning:

rendering problems : requires valid 'src' attribute

this leads me question - how can tint xml vector drawable menu icon?

i aware can create copy of vector , change fillcolor attribute colour want, apart this, there way non-programmatically?
