How to access color from App.xaml in C# in Xamarin Forms?

Question

In App.xaml I have this code:

<Application.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <Color x:Key="Yellow">#ffd966</Color>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>

and in C# I have this code:

public Color BackgroundColor
{
    get { return IsSelected ? Color.Yellow : Color.White; }
}

And I would like to change Color.Yellow with color from App.xaml. How can I reference color from App.xaml in C#?

Answer 1

isSelected ? (Color) Application.Current.Resources["Yellow"] : Color.White;

I think Conversion Color.FromHex() is not needed as you are defining resource as a color. Hope that helps.
