How to tint a Bitmap to a solid color

How would one go about tinting a Bitmap to a solid color, effectively replacing all pixels that have an alpha > 0 to a given RGB value? In addition how to do the same thing, but keeping the alpha for every pixel? I'm not looking for per-pixel operations as they tend to be slow.

I tried using a ColorMatrixColorFilter and a ColorFilter, which do tint the Bitmap, but they colorize instead of performing a 100% tint.

If your bitmap is a drawable that you want to use in a layout, then you can make a new drawable (.xml) that references your original drawable (e.g .png).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:src="@drawable/plus"
     android:tint="#2c53e5" />
