DrawableCompat setTint not working

Issue

I am using DrawableCompat and setTint to change the color of one of my Drawables and setting its color to white.

I'm using this code in my onCreateOptionsMenu:

Drawable mDrawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this,R.drawable.ic_add_circle_outline_black_24dp);
mDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(mDrawable);
DrawableCompat.setTint(mDrawable, Color.RED);
menu.findItem(R.id.item_addnew).setIcon(mDrawable);

but the Drawable remains black. Am I using the DrawableCompat in a wrong way?

Solution

For some mysterious reason, setting the black icon as default in the XML of my Menu and using Menu.getIcon() to retrieve the Drawable did the trick:

Drawable mDrawable = menu.findItem(R.id.item_addnew).getIcon();
mDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(mDrawable);
DrawableCompat.setTint(mDrawable, Color.WHITE);
menu.findItem(R.id.item_addnew).setIcon(mDrawable);
