Android: Color To Int conversion

Question

This might be a stupid question but I'm surprised that Paint class has no setColor(Color c) method. I want to do the following:

public void setColor(Color color) { /* ... */ Paint p = new Paint(); p.setColor(color); // set color takes only int as a paramter :( /* ... */ } 

So any easy way to convert Color to int?

Answer 1

Any color parse into int simplest two way here:

1) Get System Color

int redColorValue = Color.RED; 

2) Any Color Hex Code as a String Argument

int greenColorValue = Color.parseColor("#00ff00") 

MUST REMEMBER in above code Color class must be android.graphics...!
