Android Question swap colours of bitmap

Using .png images for ACToolbar icons. Produce the bitmapdrawables with this code:

B4X: 
Sub BitmapDrawableFromFile(strFolder As String, strFile As String) As BitmapDrawable
 Dim bmp As Bitmap
 Dim bmpd As BitmapDrawable
 bmp = LoadBitmap(strFolder, strFile)
 bmpd.Initialize(bmp)
 Return bmpd
End Sub

These images are simple greyscale images and sometimes I would like to alter the colour, for example the attached file I would like to change the black to green. I could alter the file with a graphic editor, but I would like to make this change in the bitmap.
Any suggestions how to do this?

Not got this working yet and getting this error:

Happening here in the BitmapCreatorEffects class:

B4X: 
Private Sub CreateBC(bmp As B4XBitmap) As BitmapCreator
 Dim bc As BitmapCreator
 bc.Initialize(bmp.Width / bmp.Scale, bmp.Height / bmp.Scale) '<<<< error here
 bc.CopyPixelsFromBitmap(bmp)
 Return bc
End Sub

I have the latest version (3.50) of BitmapCreator in the internal libraries folder and the library is ticked.

This is the code that runs ReplaceColor:

[/CODE]
Sub BitmapDrawableFromFile(strFolder As String, strFile As String, iOldColour As Int, iNewColour As Int) As BitmapDrawable

Dim bmp As Bitmap 'also tried B4XBitmap
Dim bmpd As BitmapDrawable

bmp = LoadBitmap(strFolder, strFile)

If iOldColour <> iNewColour Then
bmp = BCE.ReplaceColor(bmp, iOldColour, iNewColour, True)
End If

bmpd.Initialize(bmp)

Return bmpd

End Sub
[/CODE]


Any idea what the problem is here?

Can you upload the project?

I could, but it is quite big and possibly I may make this a commercial app, so not keen for now to expose all the source.
I will see if I can reproduce this in a small demo.
Happy to e-mail it to you personally.
