Android :: Background Color For Market Application Icon?
Nov 18, 2010
Now the Android Market requires developers to upload a: Hi Resolution Application Icon, 512w x 512h, 24 bit PNG or JPEG (no alpha) Problem: my application's icon is not a square, and because alpha is forbidden I will have to fill with some color like black. Or maybe white. Which color should I choose?

To give the user of my app an indication which field currently has the focus I am trying to change the background color of some of my fields depending on the current state, however, I am having troubles understanding Androids Color State List Resources:
There is this example at the bottom of http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/color-list-resource.html. If I try exactly the same, i.e. if I want to adapt the textColor , things do work. However, if I try an only slightly different thing, namely to adapt the background color, things do not work and I don't understand why? Why is this so inconsistent?
To make it simpler to understand what I am trying to do, I append my misc. .xml files:
The AndroidManifest.xml file:
CODE:.........
If I run this as shown here, it works, i.e. I get a button whose text color changes depending on whether the button is focuses, pressed, etc.
If I uncomment the lower button, where I just flipped the attribute values for textColor and background I get an exception, stating
... <item> tag requires a 'drawable' attribute or child tag defining a drawable
What the heck am I missing here? Why is that color state list acceptable as a text color but not as a background color? How does one specify a view's background color depending on the view's state?

I was wondering if someone has a good answer to this.I am looking for a better way to animate a background color transition from on color to the next.Currently, I have two views, vCurrentColor which lays on top of the vNextColor, in a FrameLayout. I then animate the alpha of the currentColorView to zero. At the end of the animation I swap the positions of the views and repeat the process.

In Android, the AlertDialog's background color is light gray (#646464?), while I want to customize it to other color? I searched the groups and googled it online, and all about this is using style/theme to change that. I tried some solutions, but not succeeded.Anybody can give me a little more detailed solution?

I'm trying to restore the background Color of a View. I have several selectable Views. When the user clicks one of those Views, the following code is executed and the View becomes Yellow:
View newSelection, previousSelection;
...
if(previousSelection != null) {
previousSelection.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK); // problem here
}
newSelection.setBackgroundColor(Color.YELLOW);
However, I want to reset the color of the previously selected View. However, I do not know which color it was (I'm setting it to Color.BLACK in the above code). I was not able to find a getBackgroundColor or similar method in the View class. If I had it, I could save the previous color and just put it back when the new View is selected.

I'm attempting to change the background color of an Android TextView widget when the user touches it. I've created a selector for that purpose, which is stored in res/color/selector.xml and roughly looks like that:
CODE:................
The clickable attribute of the TextView is "true", in case that's of interest.
When I assign this selector to a TextView as android:background="@color/selector",
I'm getting the following exception at runtime: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(13130): Caused by: org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: Binary XML file line #6: <item> tag requires a 'drawable' attribute or child tag defining a drawable
When I change the attribute to drawable, it works, but the result is looking completely wrong because the IDs appear to be interpreted as image references instead of color references (as the "drawable" suggests).
What confuses me is that I can set a color reference, e.g. "@color/black", as the background attribute directly. This is working as expected. Using selectors doesn't work.
I can also use the selector as the textColor without problems.
What's the correct way to apply a background-color-selector to a TextView in Android?

I am currently playing about with lesson 08 here http://insanitydesign.com/wp/projects/nehe-android-ports/ I would like to change the background colour from black to white. In order to do this at the start of onDrawFrame() I have called gl.glClearColor(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); This does indeed set a white background screen, but also results in nothing else showing up on the screen! Clearly this is therefore an incorrect method, but why, and how do I fix it?

I'm trying to change the default color for the options menu which is white. I want a black background for every item on the options menu. I've tried some shoots like android:itemBackground="#000000" on the item element within the menu element but it doesn't work. I don't know if this is doable or not. Any idea would be welcome! :)

This is my first app so finding my way around bit by bit and have been experimenting a little and would like to change the background colour to a colour from a list.Currently it loads a white background specified in strings.xml <color name="all_white">#FFFFFF</color> This is used in main.xml:android: background=" @color/all _white"Ideally I would like to change the colour in OnCreate() to a colour of my choice. I have tried setBackground Drawable but it doesnt seem to work?This is my code:public class TestActivity extends Activity double dimValPercent = 100; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super. onCreate (savedInstance State); setContentView(R.layout.main); SetDimLevel(dimValPercent);SetBackground(); return;}public void SetBackground(){getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable( new ColorDrawable (color.all_blue) );

I have a list of checked items. I used the simple_list_item_multiple_choice.xml layout from android from the list. My requirement for this list is- When I check the checkbox of an item, the background color of that row will change. (For e.g. black background to green)- Then when I uncheck the checkbox, the background color of that row will back to original (green to black) Is there any way to implement that? What I want here is different from the orange color when you scroll the list, which is made by default for the list in Android.

How can I change background color of ListView items on a pair-item basis. When I use android:backgroundColor in the ListView item layout I can achieve this, however the list selector is no longer visible. I can make the selector visible again by setting drawSelectorOnTop to true but then the selector overlays the whole item.
Any ideas how to change those background colors and keep the selector?
I would rather not change the selector itself.
Authors of GMail application have managed to achieve exactly this so it's definitely possible.
