Android Question [SOLVED] Dialog background color

stanks · Nov 30, 2023

Hi

In designer i added one B4XComboBox and i set text color to black and background to lightgray (#FFD3D3D3). In code i set dialog background to lightgray too (Dialog.BackgroundColor = Colors.LightGray) and when i run app colors are different (at least on emulator...i didn't try it yet on real device)

When i set combo background as transparent everything is ok (ofc). Is that a bug/emu problem/something else/i am doing something wrong?

Thanks

In the designer you have set the color of the B4XComboBox1 to lightgray in the layout for the dialog.

If you set the color of the activity in that same layout to the same color lightgray then the B4XCombobox has the same background color.

Setting dialog background with

B4X:

Dialog.BackgroundColor = Colors.LightGray

will show diff in LightGray colors, but setting dialog background color with

B4X:

Dialog.BackgroundColor = Colors.RGB(211, 211, 211)

will not show any diff.

@Erel is that a BUG or?

The right hand side expression is evaluated and the value is set to the property.
In this case the values are different:

B4X:

Log(Colors.LightGray)
Log(Colors.RGB(211, 211, 211))

Tip: use XUI.Colors... and get used to writing cross platform code.
