Material Button Icon is showing without color












1















I am using the following material button:



<android.support.design.button.MaterialButton
android:id="@+id/bFavourite" style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.UnelevatedButton.Icon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:insetTop="0dp"
android:insetBottom="0dp"
android:textAllCaps="false"
android:textSize="20sp"
app:backgroundTint="@color/main_dark_blue"
app:backgroundTintMode="src_over"
app:cornerRadius="0dp"
app:icon="@drawable/heart_filled"
app:iconGravity="textStart"
app:iconPadding="0dp" />


heart_filled is a png of a red heart. However the icon is showing without any color (i.e., a white heart).
Why is the actual color of the image not showing?
Thank you

          You can try to set the iconTint attribute of the Button:



          app:iconTint="#ffffff"

          • Yes I know how it is when you expect something to behave like it should, just like a white icon to be white, but in AS I've seen a lot of weird behavior (like icons not even showing) and in these cases if there is a workaround I take it. So if this works I suggest you do it. If not then there is trouble.
