Question

I have a GridView with each cell containing some text, and I want to be able to set the background colour of individual cells.

The XML for my GridView is:

Answer 1

Main activity where you have to create array of hexadecimal color code and and pass to custom adapter class

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
GridView gridView;


    String[] gridColor ={

            "#008B8B",
            "#00FF00",
            "#48D1CC",
            "#556B2F",
            "#696969",
            "#6B8E23",
            "#8FBC8F",
            "#AFEEEE",
            "#B8860B",
            "#BDB76B",
            "#D8BFD8",
            "#DEB887",
            "#FFFF00",
            "#FFF0F5",
            "#EE82EE",
            "#DC143C",
            "#C0C0C0"
    };


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Grid adapter = new Grid(MainActivity.this,gridColor);
        gridView=(GridView)findViewById(R.id.grid_view);

        gridView.setAdapter(adapter);


        gridView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view,
                                    int position, long id)
            {
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "You Clicked On " +gridcolor[+ position], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            }
        });

    }

}

In custom adapter code will be like this where color code will be parsed

public class Grid extends BaseAdapter {

    private Context mContext;
    private final String[] menu;
    private final int[] Imageid;
    private final String[] gridcolor;

    public Grid(Context context,String[] menu,int[] Imageid,String[] gridcolor)
    {
        mContext=context;

        this.gridcolor=gridcolor;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return gridcolor.length;
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int i) {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int i) {
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int i, View view, ViewGroup viewGroup) {
        View grid;
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext
                .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

        if (view == null) {

            grid = new View(mContext);
            grid = inflater.inflate(R.layout.grid_layout, null);

            grid.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor(gridcolor[i]));

        } else
        {
            grid =  view;
        }

        return grid;
    }
}
