I am not an expert in Android Development, so there may be better ways of doing this! But as a quick fix, you could do something like this:

View view = findViewById(R.id.<yourView>);
Drawable drawable = view.getBackground();

Then once you have the drawable you can set the tint, color filter, whatever else it is you may want to do.

drawable.setTint(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.red));

I am not able to test this right now, so I may have made a mistake or two, but Android Studio's error messages should guide you through fixing that. You may also have to call view.setBackground(drawable) to apply the changes. I am not sure if it will be updated automatically.
