Answer 1

try set color like this may helps you

txt.setTextColor(Color.rgb(0, 87, 48));

Answer 2

You can use

  textView1.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.mycolor))

or

  textview1.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));

or

    textview1.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);

or

    textView1.setBackgroundColor(R.color.black);

Answer 3

you should use R.color.CodeColor. you are using R.string.CodeColor.

Answer 4

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).

Answer 5

Define colors in colors.xml file like that:

  <resources>
       <color name="CodeColor" >#0000ff</color>
  </resources>

Then use color whatever you like in your code using: R.color.CodeColor

Good luck!

Answer 6

I tried something like:

textView.setTextColor(R.color.Red);
