import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.ImageView;

public class Main extends Activity {
    ImageView imViewAndroid;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        imViewAndroid = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imViewAndroid);
          Bitmap b=replaceColor(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.basic),Color.YELLOW,Color.MAGENTA);
  imViewAndroid.setImageBitmap(b);
  
 }
 public Bitmap replaceColor(Bitmap src,int fromColor, int targetColor) {
        if(src == null) {
            return null;
        }
     // Source image size 
        int width = src.getWidth();
        int height = src.getHeight();
        int[] pixels = new int[width * height];
        //get pixels
        src.getPixels(pixels, 0, width, 0, 0, width, height);
 
        for(int x = 0; x < pixels.length; ++x) {
            pixels[x] = (pixels[x] == fromColor) ? targetColor : pixels[x];
        }
     // create result bitmap output 
        Bitmap result = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, src.getConfig());
        //set pixels
        result.setPixels(pixels, 0, width, 0, 0, width, height);
 
        return result;
    }
}
