Question

I want to set my android linkify text color to a custom color however mText.setLinkTextColor("#2f6699"); does not work, I have been searching for a built in method that will compile a hexidecimal value but I havent found one, any help will go a long way thanks

Answer 1

You should convert it to a Color.
Try:

mText.setLinkTextColor(Color.parseColor("#2f6699"));
