Title Body

I have a drawable that i use as a Background for a LinearLayout. I would like to change the color of this Shape in runtime. I have tried using several methods.. but none work. I've followed the approach described here: http://www.anddev.org/android-2d-3d-graphics-opengl-problems-f55/change-shape-drawable-solid-color-t16798.html But have the same problem... it doesnt crashes.. but the color doesnt change! <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <solid android:color="#00A6C1" /> <corners android:radius="@dimen/square_corners" /> </shape> Snippet of code: GradientDrawable drawable = (GradientDrawable) activity.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.blue_square_shape); int color = ((Application) getApplication()).getColor(); drawable.setColor(color); block.findViewById(R.id.blockSquare).setBackgroundDrawable(drawable); findViewById(R.id.blockSquare).postInvalidate(); Any clue? I've passed the whole day googling... and it's getting pretty annoying... UPDATE: When i try to do the same to this Shape: <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/shape" android:shape="rectangle"> <gradient android:startColor="#1FBCCF" android:endColor="#06A4C1" android:angle="270" /> <corners android:topLeftRadius="@dimen/footer_corners" android:topRightRadius="@dimen/footer_corners" /> </shape> The color turns to black... what i guess tells it can be changed...
