change a drawable color programmatically in android

i have the following parallelogram shape :

<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:width="200dp"
    android:height="50dp"
    android:viewportWidth="200"
    android:viewportHeight="50">

    <path android:fillColor="#000000"
    android:pathData="M 200 0 L 20 0 L 0 50 L 180 50 L 200 0" />
</vector>

and i have used it in this way

    <View

        android:layout_width="66dp"
        android:layout_height="26dp"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="112dp"
        android:background="@drawable/shape"
        android:onClick="test"
        android:tag="p112"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.615"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

now i want to change its color from black to white after tapping. function "test" would trigger after touching. but all i have found changes the color of background that would make my black parallelogram to a white rectangle. is there any way i can change its color. even manipulating the xml would be fine. tnx

test function:

    public void test(View view){
        view.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
    }

Drawable backgroundDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(view.getBackgroundDrawable()).mutate(); DrawableCompat.setTint(backgroundDrawable, color); You can use this!!

Try using setBackgroundTint instead of color. that should alter the resource of the background.

You cannot change the color of individual path at runtime. You can however , change the color of entire vector.
