How to set the text color of a TextView using ColorsStateList?

Answer 1

If you need to set the colors in code (using ColorStateList), but still want to keep the color states in an XML, you might want to use this:

try {     XmlResourceParser parser = getResources().getXml(R.color.your_colors);     ColorStateList colors = ColorStateList.createFromXml(getResources(), parser);     mText.setTextColor(colors); } catch (Exception e) {     // handle exceptions } 

res/color/your_colors.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">     <item android:state_pressed="true"           android:color="#222222"/>     <item android:state_selected="true"           android:color="#222222"/>     <item android:state_focused="true"           android:color="#222222"/>     <item android:color="#0000ff"/> </selector>
