If I have a string like:
String myColor = "Color.RED";
How do I get that to work in:
graphics.setColor(myColor);
I guess I’m asking how do I pass a variable object name to a function. I’ve tried a bunch of stuff and can not get it working.
You’ll need error checking to make sure the string is valid, but the crux of it is this:
graphics.setColor((Color) Color.class.getField("RED").get(null));Of course, you’ll also have to use string manipulation to take the “Color.” part out of the string.
