Define a custom color variable

android, android-layout

Solution

you can use `values/colors.xml`. For instance

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color name="menu_background">#666666</color>
</resources>

Problem

I want to change some button colors globally in my code. I cannot seem to fine a way to define a color variable and then assign a color value to that variable. I tried this Color SelectedColor = new Color(); ``` f1.setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(0, 0, 100)); ``` I want to use ColorSelected in place of the RGB value so I can edit the value at start up. ``` f1.setBackgroundColor(Color.ColorSelected); ```
