Answer 1

I am basically just merging all the partially good answers.

You defined your color as a String, but AFAIK Android processes colors as Itegers.
So use the Colors.xml file (instead of strings.xml): and refer to it in code as R.color.CodeColor.
_{(Moreover, I think, there is some naming convention that tells you to name these values all lowercase: code_color or codecolor)}

Or you can define them as strings, but then you are need to make it an Integer: Color.parseColor(R.string.code_color).
