Get color resource as string

Question

I'm trying to use Color.parseColor() on a color resource:

<color name="redish">#FF0000</color>

I've tried this, but it gives me the error Unknown color:

Color.parseColor(Integer.toHexString(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.redish)))

How do I convert the color resource to a String properly?

Answer 1

Updated answer:

String colorHex = "#" + Integer.toHexString(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.colorPrimary) & 0x00ffffff);

Answer 2

I think you missed #

Color.parseColor("#"+Integer.toHexString(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.redish)))
