EDIT:A Pastebin consisting of the relevant parts of my project:
Here is the updated code
Also ColouredItem is a wrapper for:
public class ColouredItem
{//Only a wrapper class,no behaviour has been defined here
String name,colour;
}
I get a NumberFormatException when trying to parse a colour from a String using the following code:
row.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor(item.colour));
I use the following to create a list of items from a resource:
for(int i=0;i<list.length;i++)
{
item=new ColouredMenuItem();
String[] cmenu =list[i].split("#");
item.name=cmenu[0];
item.colour="#"+cmenu[1];
Log.d(TAG, item.colour);
menuList.add(item);
}
This is the exception that I get...I have found that view.setBackgroundColor only takes an integer value:
#ffffff
#ffffBB
#fff45f
#ffff00

Adding the # as some of the answers suggest did not solve the issue:

No difference with this implementation either:
String cmenu=list[i];
item.name=cmenu.substring(0, cmenu.indexOf("#"));
item.colour=cmenu.substring(cmenu.indexOf("#"));
