What is default color for text in textview?

Question

I set the color to red , and after that I want to set the color again back to default, but I do not know what is default color, does anyone knows ?

Answer 1

Actually the color TextView is:

android:textColor="@android:color/tab_indicator_text" 

or

#808080 

Answer 2

You can save old color and then use it to restore the original value. Here is an example:

ColorStateList oldColors =  textView.getTextColors(); //save original colors textView.setTextColor(Color.RED); .... textView.setTextColor(oldColors);//restore original colors

But in general default TextView text color is determined from current Theme applied to your Activity.
