setCardBackgroundColor() set wrong color

Question

I am programmatically trying to set the color of a CardView using the function setCardBackgroundColor() but the color is showing up incorrectly.

• If I set the color to black(#000000) it shows up as medium gray.
• If I set the color to white(#ffffff) or green(#9ccb3f) it shows up as violet

Answer 1

Make sure you are not sending in the id of the color (i.e. R.color.COLOR_NAME)
