I don't think it helps to get access to the drawable resource and use setColorFilter to set its background color since I don't see a way to set the modified drawable resource as the background resource for the view.
Am I missing something obvious? I did google before posting but that doesn't mean I didn't miss it. >>>>> "Jake" == Jake Colman <col...@ppllc.com> writes: Jake> I have written code to select at runtime whether my widget Jake> should use a background PNG image or just select a background Jake> color in place of the image.
