Remove Tint Color Programmatically in Android

Question

I want to programmatically remove (reset) my ImageView Tint color which was already set in XML layout.

This question is NOT A DUPLICATE of the linked question and does not have an answer there (at the time of writing this comment). — talz, Mar 25 '18 at 19:30
In older APIs you can use: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/widget/ImageViewCompat#setimagetintlist passing null as the tintList — pandre, Feb 07 '19 at 16:02

I think if above things doesn't works, you can try adding the image again to the imageview programatically, while adding it again programatically don't set tintcolor for it, it will be inflated with the original color

    myImgView.setImageResource(R.drawable.yourDrwable);

or I think this should work for you.

    imageview.setColorFilter(null)

or

    imageView.clearColorFilter()

or

    imageView.drawable.setTintList(null)

or

    ImageViewCompat.setImageTintList(imageView, null);

`imageView.drawable.setTintList(null)` to clear the tint. [Docs](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/Drawable#setTintList(android.content.res.ColorStateList)): `Color state list to use for tinting this drawable, or null to clear the tint This value may be null.` – Fatih Jul 20 '20 at 17:32
I had used app:tint= in xml and clearColorFilter and colorFilter = null didn't work. But .drawable.setTintList(null) worked if it was done after the drawable had been set to the ImageView. – Warpzit Sep 03 '20 at 10:52

`ImageViewCompat.setImageTintList(imageView, null);` works for me. – RRGT19 Oct 17 '20 at 15:36

`imageView.setImageTintList(null)` worked for me. – Veniamin Dec 01 '22 at 16:54
for me I had to do both clearColorFilter() and drawable.setTintList(null) – Christian C Apr 26 '23 at 08:52
ImageViewCompat.setImageTintList(ivImage, null); only last one works for me. – Ahamadullah Saikat Jul 05 '23 at 07:01
