Android: Set textcolor for programmatically created TextView

Question

I have created TextView programmatically, Now i want to set text color to the TextView below is my code

TableLayout ll = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.auditContent);
public TableRow row;
TextView txtNumber;

for (int i = 0; i < ItemCount; i++) {
row = new TableRow(MainActivity.this);
TableRow.LayoutParams lp = new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
                    row.setLayoutParams(lp);
                    row.setWeightSum(1f);
      txtNumber = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
      txtNumber.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
      txtNumber.setText("No." + count);
      txtNumber.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.blue)); //setting text color

 row.addView(txtNumber);

ll.addView(row, i);
    }

The textcolor is not setting the color to TextView text, m doing anything wrong, And i debug the code there is no error. Please help thanks

In string.xml <color name="blue">#33CCCC</color> m not using color.xml The above color will work fine for xml TextView

Answer 1

According to your xml file you need to change

txtNumber.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.blue));

to

txtNumber.setTextColor(getResources().getString(R.color.blue));

Further more you can make color.xml file in your values folder and in that use

<color name="mycolor">#33CCCC</color>

now just use this way

txtNumber.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.mycolor));

Answer 2

Starting from Android Support Library 23

txtNumber.setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.your_color));
