I have a textview with the background defined in a xml file.
<TextView
android:id="@+id/event_tvColor"
android:layout_width="40dip"
android:layout_height="40dip"
android:text=" "
android:background="@drawable/et_style_color_service_edit"
android:clickable="true"
/>
xml file : et_style_color_service_edit.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="@color/eventColor"/>
<stroke android:width="0sp" android:color="#FFFFFF" />
<size android:width="20dp"
android:height="20dp"/>
</shape>
And i need to get the color that the view have in a one time.
ShapeDrawable sc = (ShapeDrawable)tvColor.getBackground();
...............
Note that i need to use ShapeDrawable and not GradientDrawable. Thank you for your help and time.
Solution........
Solution The xml loads into the app as a gradientdrawable and not as a shapedrawable. We have to define the shapeDrawable in java
ShapeDrawable sd = new ShapeDrawable(new RectShape);
sd.getPaint().setColor(0xFF0000FF);
if anyone have a better solution can tell.
