setTextcolor by using getCurrentTextColor()

Question

I need to get current text color form TextView and then assign this value to TextView.setTextColor(). But I get a large int -1979711488138, how can I get a color from it?

Answer 1

Integer intColor = -1979711488138;
String hexColor = "#" + Integer.toHexString(intColor).substring(2);

or

String hexColor = String.format("#%06X", (0xFFFFFF & intColor));

Answer 2

Suppose you want to set color from textView1 to textView then you can do like this:

textView.setTextColor(textView1.getCurrentTextColor());
