Android Question Button back color

Zeev Goldstein · Jan 17, 2023

Hi,

Is there a way to get button's color (background & textcolor) in runtime?

(The button is a simple B4A button - dim b as button)

Thanks

hi
i need to GET the color not to SET it
so your solution did not do it...

Just reverse the code.

B4X:

Dim ButtonColor As Int = b.As(B4XView).Color
Log(ButtonColor)

Declare it as a B4XView then you can set the color with:
Button1.Color = Colors.White
or, if you want a border and corner radii.
Button1.SetColorAndBorder(Colors.White, 1dip, Colors.Black, 10dip)

And to get the color with:
BackColor = Button1.Color

Thanks,

As said it's a simple button (old app) so I can't go now and change it all...
So your solution as good as it is is not applicable for my app

So, is there a way to get the colors of a simple button that was declared dim b as button?

Thanks

Then cast it to B4XView.

B4X:

b.As(B4XView).Color = xui.Color_Green
