Android Question Unable to set label colors

[FERNANDO SILVEIRA]

Hi,

I'm trying to create four labels, each one with a different color (Yellow, Green, Red & Blue).
I hard coded these static colors on the Visual Designer but they keep appearing transparent on the WYSIWYG panel and when I run the program.

My idea is also to change these colors during program execution later.

What am I doing wrong?
Which color property should I set?

Regards,
Fernando

Just set alpha level value to 255.

Got it.
Thanx a lot.

BTW, they could call it "transparency" or something, instead of "alpha level", don't you think?

They could but alpha level is an industry standard term in computer graphics and they figure it will be easier for you to learn it than for the rest of the industry to change it

"Transparency" would actually be backwards - because an alpha of 0 = fully transparent & an alpha of 255 = fully opaque. It might make more sense to call is "Opacity", but most programmers are familiar with alpha (as in ARGB,or RGBA) for colors.

Look at this Wikipedia article for some background:

Don't worry so much.
@Erel always uses the names and patterns appropriately.
If the answers are helpful to you, please mark it as "like."

Are you from Brazil? If yes, in Portuguese (Brazilian) language in IDE, it translate as "transparency level" or "Nível de transparência".
