Android Question Save background (ColorDrawable)

[Douwe Siegersma]

Hello,

I want to save the properties of an object (stored in a list) in a file.
This goes well but when loading them again setting the background property gives an error.
Java expects a ColorDrawable but gets a string. Is there a way to convert the string to a ColorDrawable again?

Dim cd As ColorDrawable
cd.Initialize(color, radius)

color and radius are Ints. Also look at the Initialize2 method for ColorDrawable. If the color string is in hex form you can use ByteConverter.HexToBytes then ByteConverter.IntsFromBytes to get an Int color.

Thank you Agraham. I will try this. And I use the initialize2 method for most of the objects.

Tip: use B4XView.SetColorAndBorder instead. Simpler and cross platform.

Ok, Thank you Erel. Still learning (a lot)
