Is there any way to change contents of shape.xml of drawable folder?

[Raj]

Hello,

In app, I've used a shape.xml for giving a rounded rectangle shape to my view (as seen below) and in that, I've used some color. Now, what I want to do is change the color in this shape.xml dynamically so that I can make some fade color animation out of it. So is there any way to change the color value in that file dynamically? Here is that file -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:shape="rectangle">

    <corners

        android:radius="10dp"

        android:topLeftRadius="10dp"

        android:topRightRadius="10dp"

        android:bottomLeftRadius="10dp"

        android:bottomRightRadius="10dp" />

    <size

        android:width="65dp"

        android:height="65dp" />

    <solid

        android:color="#FFA500" />

</shape>

Alternatively, can you suggest some dynamic code from which I can achieve the same that this shape.xml does, so that I can pass a color as a parameter over there?

Please Help.

What will trigger the dynamic color change; you should probably merely change the color alpha property in your code, if the color must be predefined, you could/should define a color resource for the shape, adjust the color resource  alpha according to you're desired animation time while associating it with the shape - have a look at the Animation object.
