How to give tint color to imageview android?

I have to change tint color of imageview but programmatically. I will be getting a string value from server for eg:

"color":"#fff"

I have to set the same color as tint to an imageview.

The following code will not work =, as the image present in imageview is not set as background of it, but as src.

imageView.getBackground().setColorFilter(Color.parseColor("#ff8800"), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

Also, these are following i tried with no luck. :( Attempt1:

ImageViewCompat.setImageTintList(imageView, ColorStateList.valueOf(Integer.parseInt("#ffffff")));

Attempt2:

imageView.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(context, Color.parseColor("#ffffff")), android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);

Attempt3:

imageView.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.______), android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);

Kindly Note, I cannot use R.color.SOMETHING ,as i dont have that color in my file.

Thanking in advance.

Try

imageView.setColorFilter(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN)

The valid color formats for Color.parseColor() are

#RRGGBB and #AARRGGBB

I think you know the following, but I will state it anyway: If the "#fff" value is a CSS hex color code then it is a shortened version of the real code "#FFFFFFFF". If you are passing in just "#fff", it will fail since Color.parseColor doesn't know about shortened 3-digit CSS color codes. See CSS HEX Colors.
