android - setColorFilter is deprecated on API29

Question

I use the following line to change the color of a VectorDrawable:

mydrawable.getBackground().setColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP)

This works nice, though it is now deprecated. The documentation suggests that I use:

mydrawable.getBackground().setColorFilter(new BlendModeColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP))

Though, BlendModeColorFilter is only available on API29. After examining the source of the deprecated method, I have realized that it calls:

new PorterDuffColorFilter()

So, I went ahead and used:

mydrawable.getBackground().setColorFilter(new PorterDuffColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP))

The coloring worked. Is this the right replacement for the deprecated method or I must use BlendModeColorFilter on API29?

Thank you.

Try this:

public class MyDrawableCompat {
    public static void setColorFilter(@NonNull Drawable drawable, @ColorInt int color) {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
            drawable.setColorFilter(new BlendModeColorFilter(color, BlendMode.SRC_ATOP));
        } else {
            drawable.setColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
        }
    }
}

And this:

MyDrawableCompat.setColorFilter(mydrawable.getBackground(), color);

UPDATE: Just use the latest version of the core androidx library and this code:

mydrawable.colorFilter = BlendModeColorFilterCompat.createBlendModeColorFilterCompat(color, BlendModeCompat.SRC_ATOP)
