Change icones colors dynamically

Question

I have the following question: I have several icones in my design, some white and others black.

Is it possible to change the color of the icon without importing an icon already in the specific color? Ex: Let it Red, Yellow, etc...

Example where it works, but not where I need it:

Bottomnavigation does this, where the icons are originally black and the color set is Colorprimarydark.

The idea would be to do that in the icones of Actionbar. I wonder how I could do that and if it’s possible?

Examples & suggestions I found: (I couldn’t make it work)

1

Drawable mDrawable = context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.yourdrawable); 
mDrawable.setColorFilter(new 
PorterDuffColorFilter(0xffff00,PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY));

2

ImageView lineColorCode = (ImageView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.line_color_code);
int color = Color.parseColor("#AE6118"); //The color u want             
lineColorCode.setColorFilter(color);

For this case, if you prefer, you can only use XML. Simply create a <selector> with the name for example, item_selector.xml, using the state_check as true and insert into your directory drawable, thus remaining: res/drawable/item_selector.xml. See below for an example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_checked="true" android:color="@android:color/holo_blue_dark" />
    <item android:color="@android:color/darker_gray"  />
</selector>

To use, you need to define the itemIconTint and the itemTextColor so that the text is also the same color when it is selected. See:

<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
    android:id="@+id/bottom_navigation"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    app:itemIconTint="@drawable/item_selector"
    app:itemTextColor="@drawable/item_selector"
    app:menu="@menu/bottom_nav_bar_menu" />
