Question

I wanted to create a drop shadow behind a button for my app, but when I tried to do what is done here: http://www.anotherandroidblog.com/2011/06/29/drop-shadow-linearlayout/, Eclipse can’t find @color/cream_dark or @color/cream. Are there any alternatives?

Answer 1

You have to specify those colors in a file named color.xml in the “values” folder which is in the “res” folder. You can put any RGB value into this resource.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color name="cream_dark">#000000</color>
    <color name="cream">#ffffff</color>
</resources>
