Android - How to programmatically set button color

Question

I am reading in some data from a REST api and need to generate some buttons based on the information the app receives.

Because I need the same buttons in many Activi

Answer 1

Better if you have the View object (findViewById from R class) transformed info specific object: for example Button. ( the standard way - Button b = (Button) fin...(R.id.sdfsdf) )

Next just type from a few andro-colors:

 b.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("green"));

or BETTER: FROM RGB

 b.setTextColor(Color.rgb(0xff, 0x66, 0x33));

Everything is in the ctrl+spaceBar in Eclipse :P

Sorry! Maybe the b.setTextColor(0xff0000) would also works...

Answer 2

The getColor() function is deprecated from API level 23. Check this link for more details.
Below is the source code from the support library:

public static final int getColor(Context context, int id) {
    final int version = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
    if (version >= 23) {
        return ContextCompatApi23.getColor(context, id);
    } else {
        return context.getResources().getColor(id);
   }
}

Answer 3

You should do:

setTextColor(getContext().getResources().getColor(R.color.info_button_text_color));
