How do you tint a bitmap in Android?

Question

I draw a bitmap onto a canvas using the following call:

_playerImage = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.player);

How can I now tint this image white? I'm trying to make the image flash white like in top-scrollers when an enemy is hit by a bullet.

Do I need to use something other than BitmapFactory?

Answer 1

You can use a ColorFilter on your Paint when you draw the bitmap.
