[android-developers] Re: Setting Widget B/G Color of the B/G Resource

I don't think it helps to get access to the drawable resource and use
setColorFilter to set its background color since I don't see a way to
set the modified drawable resource as the background resource for the
view.

Am I missing something obvious? I did google before posting but that
doesn't mean I didn't miss it.
