How to return a Drawable asset as Integer?

Question

In my app I am using this function to return a Drawable witch changed color:

fun setDrawableColor(icon: Drawable, color: Int): Drawable {
    val drawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(icon)
    DrawableCompat.setTint(drawable, getColor(color))
    return drawable
}

This works perfectly. However, I can't use it for example for setIcon() of a AlertDialog since it takes a Drawable as Integer like this setIcon(R.dawable.my_icon).

I need a similar function like above one, which does exactly the same thing but returns Drawable as Integer instead. How can I achieve that?

You can try this way but you need to pass the drawable name as parameter here

fun getDrawableColorAsInt(icon: Drawable, color: Int, drawableName: String): Int {
        val drawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(icon)
        DrawableCompat.setTint(drawable, context!!.getColor(color))
        val resourceID = resources.getIdentifier(drawableName, "drawable", context!!.packageName)
        return resourceID
    }
