title: How to change the color of intern Android drawables?
body: <p>I've tried to put the intern icons of Android (anrdoid.R.drawable.bla) into an ImageButton 
  and I wanted to change the color of Icon (not the Background!), but it doesn't work like I want to.</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I've tried:</p>
  
  <p>my ImageButton from the Layout:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ImageButton
      android:id="@+id/imageButton1"
      android:layout_marginTop="100dp"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:background="@color/background"
      android:src="@android:drawable/ic_lock_silent_mode" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>what I've tried in my Activity:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Drawable myIcon = getResources().getDrawable( android.R.drawable.ic_lock_silent_mode); 
      ColorFilter filter = new LightingColorFilter( R.color.blue, R.color.blue);
      myIcon.setColorFilter(filter);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>No matter what Values I've tried for the LightingColorFilter it always gives the same result. The icon inside the Imagebutton gets dark. But thats not what I wnated. I just wanted to apply a color from my colors.xml, it somehow doesnt work out. </p>
  
  <p>Is this even the right direction I'm going? Or is there another opertunity (And I don't mean coloring myself in Photoshop and putting them into the drawables folder)</p>
