How to convert a color integer to a hex String in Android?

Solution

The mask makes sure you only get RRGGBB, and the %06X gives you zero-padded hex (always 6 chars long):

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

Problem

I have an integer that was generated from an `android.graphics.Color`. It has a value of `-16776961`. How do I convert it into a hex string with the format `#RRGGBB`? Simply put: I would like to output `#0000FF` from `-16776961`. Note: I don't want the output to contain alpha and I have also tried this example with no success.
