Is there such a method call “getBackgroundColor”?

Question

Is there such a method call \"getBackgroundColor\" in TextView? if I got 2 textViews: tv1 and tv2 in one LinearLayout. What I did:tv1.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE)

Answer 1

Here is an additional option:

The way I solved this problem for my app was to define the colors in values/color.xml.

    #ff0099cc
    #ff1d1d1d
    #ffffffff
    ...

    @color/white

In the layout the TextView has:

android:background="@color/textview_background"

If I want to get the background color in code I can just use:

getResources().getColor(R.color.textview_background)

This gives me a Color object directly without worrying about getting the color from a Drawable.
