XML Attributes

android:color

The color to use.

Must be a color value, in the form of " # rgb ", " # argb ", " # rrggbb ", or " # aarrggbb ".

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form " @[ package :] type : name ") or theme attribute (in the form " ?[ package :][ type :] name ") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol color .

Related Methods

Public Constructors

public ColorDrawable ()

Added in API level 1

Creates a new black ColorDrawable.

public ColorDrawable (int color)

Added in API level 1

Creates a new ColorDrawable with the specified color.

Parameters

color	The color to draw.

Public Methods

public void draw ( Canvas canvas)

Added in API level 1

Draw in its bounds (set via setBounds) respecting optional effects such as alpha (set via setAlpha) and color filter (set via setColorFilter).

Parameters

canvas	The canvas to draw into

public int getAlpha ()

Added in API level 1

Returns the alpha value of this drawable's color.

Returns

A value between 0 and 255.

public int getChangingConfigurations ()

Added in API level 1

Return a mask of the configuration parameters for which this drawable may change, requiring that it be re-created. The default implementation returns whatever was provided through setChangingConfigurations(int) or 0 by default. Subclasses may extend this to or in the changing configurations of any other drawables they hold.

Returns

Returns a mask of the changing configuration parameters, as defined by Configuration .

public int getColor ()

Added in API level 11

Gets the drawable's color value.

Returns

int The color to draw.

public Drawable.ConstantState getConstantState ()

Added in API level 1

Return a Drawable.ConstantState instance that holds the shared state of this Drawable. q

Returns

The ConstantState associated to that Drawable.

public int getOpacity ()

Added in API level 1

Return the opacity/transparency of this Drawable. The returned value is one of the abstract format constants in PixelFormat : UNKNOWN , TRANSLUCENT , TRANSPARENT , or OPAQUE .

Generally a Drawable should be as conservative as possible with the value it returns. For example, if it contains multiple child drawables and only shows one of them at a time, if only one of the children is TRANSLUCENT and the others are OPAQUE then TRANSLUCENT should be returned. You can use the method resolveOpacity(int, int) to perform a standard reduction of two opacities to the appropriate single output.

Note that the returned value does not take into account a custom alpha or color filter that has been applied by the client through the setAlpha(int) or setColorFilter(ColorFilter) methods.

Returns

int The opacity class of the Drawable.

public void inflate ( Resources r, XmlPullParser parser, AttributeSet attrs)

Added in API level 1

Inflate this Drawable from an XML resource.

Throws

XmlPullParserException
IOException

public Drawable mutate ()

Added in API level 3

A mutable BitmapDrawable still shares its Bitmap with any other Drawable that comes from the same resource.

Returns

This drawable.

public void setAlpha (int alpha)

Added in API level 1

Sets the color's alpha value.

Parameters

alpha	The alpha value to set, between 0 and 255.

public void setColor (int color)

Added in API level 11

Sets the drawable's color value. This action will clobber the results of prior calls to setAlpha(int) on this object, which side-affected the underlying color.

Parameters

color	The color to draw.

public void setColorFilter ( ColorFilter colorFilter)

Added in API level 1

Setting a color filter on a ColorDrawable has no effect.

Parameters

colorFilter	Ignore.
