Set custom chipDrawable background to Chip

I want to set custom drawable background to Chip, just like that chip.setBackgroundDrawable(context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_cutom_drawable));

But it is not working.It gives an error 

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

It required a chipDrawable. How to create chipDrawable for same. I tried but not able to find out solution. Please suggest me it would be appreciate.

Using this code you can generate multicolor chip.

add this code in oncreate() or anywhere in function

// "i" is integer value and it will be unique for every chip. In my case I have put in chip in FOR loop that why "i" is there

Chip chip = (Chip) LayoutInflater.from(getActivity()).inflate(R.layout.item_content_lang_chip, null);
                chip.setText(contentLangModels.get(i).getContentDisplay());
                chip.setId(i);
chip.setChipBackgroundColor(buildColorStateList(getActivity(),"#1e61d5","#2e2e37"));


chipGrpContentType.addView(chip);

Add below function in your activity

 public ColorStateList buildColorStateList(Context context, String pressedColorAttr, String defaultColorAttr){
        int pressedColor = Color.parseColor(pressedColorAttr);
        int defaultColor = Color.parseColor(defaultColorAttr);

        return new ColorStateList(
                new int[][]{
                        new int[]{android.R.attr.state_checked},
                        new int[]{} // this should be empty to make default color as we want
                }, new int[]{
                pressedColor,
                defaultColor
        }
        );
    }

If someone is using a material chip inside a dialog and getting a crash with same above error then you need to remove background attribute for your dialog set from styles.

if you want change background color, you can try:

ChipDrawable chipDrawable = (ChipDrawable)chip.getChipDrawable();
chipDrawable.setChipBackgroundColorResource(R.color.colorPrimary);

Do not use the android:background attribute. It will be ignored because Chip manages its own background Drawable chip document
