How to set the color of the vector asset?

Question

I just want to set the colour of the vector asset. I have searched for it but doesn't seem to be work for me. and I don't want to change it from XML, I want to change it in my MainActivity.java, or I say programmatically.is there any method for this?

Here is my Code

 @Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuItem menuItem = menu.add("Image");
    menuItem.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_camera_alt_black_24dp);
    menuItem.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);
    //something like this
    //menuItem.setIconColor(Color.WHITE);
    return true;
}

I am searching something for formatting the icon colour.

I mentioned it that I don't want to do this using XML.And as well android:tint does not work for me

Changing colour for a Vector Drawable should be for an ImageView or Drawable:

yourImageView.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.your_color_white), android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);

This will work for Vector images ImageView or Drawable as ImageView
