tinting the google map icon

I want to tint an icon for my google maps. Here is my code - 

markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.my_location));

How can I tint to the color I want? Currently the drawable is in green color.

You can do this easily, you can set your image drawable which is placed in your drawable folder. This is not tint but this is best solution.

itmapDescriptor icon = BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.yourdrawable)

MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions().position(latLng)
         .title("Current Location")
         .snippet("Thinking of finding some thing...")
         .icon(icon);

mMarker = googleMap.addMarker(markerOptions);

Update

You can use this to change color of your bitmap

 private Bitmap changeBitmapColor(Bitmap sourceBitmap, int color) {

    Bitmap resultBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(sourceBitmap, 0, 0,
            sourceBitmap.getWidth() - 1, sourceBitmap.getHeight() - 1);
    Paint p = new Paint();
    ColorFilter filter = new LightingColorFilter(color, 1);
    p.setColorFilter(filter);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(resultBitmap);
    canvas.drawBitmap(resultBitmap, 0, 0, p);
    return resultBitmap;
}

for using bitmap BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap, let me know if this solves your issue.
