Question

In the string.xml file i use the following tag

 <string name="CodeColor" >"#0000ff"</string>

If I use

 textview1.setTextColor(Color.RED);

it works, but when I use

  textview1.setTextColor(TextViewStyles.this.getResources().getColor(R.string.CodeColor)); 

 or
 textview1.setTextColor(R.string.CodeColor);

it doen’t work.
Any suggestions…

You need to create a set of styles in your xml (regularly in res/values/styles.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color name="gray">#eaeaea</color>
    <color name="titlebackgroundcolor">#00abd7</color>
    <color name="titlecolor">#666666</color>
<resources>

In the layout files you can call to the colors or styles:

android:textColor="@color/titlecolor"
