Set background color of the material chip programmatically

Chip chip = new Chip(context);
chip.setBackgroundcolor(getResources().getColor(R.color.blue));

The above line gives the error: 

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Do not set the background resource; Chip manages its own background drawable.

Use the method setChipBackgroundColorResource:

chip.setChipBackgroundColorResource(R.color.chip_selector_color);

Otherwise use the method setChipBackgroundColor

chip.setChipBackgroundColor(AppCompatResources.getColorStateList(context, R.color.chip_selector_color));

For Kotlin, you should use this:

chip.chipBackgroundColor = ColorStateList.valueOf(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.yourColor))

For Java:

chip.setChipBackgroundColor(ColorStateList.valueOf(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.yourColor)));
