Color value not valid — must be #rgb, #argb, #rrggbb, or #aarrggbb

Question

I am giving a colour code in textColour attribute in xml file.

ie android:textColor="#fffffffff"

I am getting this error: Error: Color value not valid -- must be #rgb, #argb, #rrggbb, or #aarrggbb (at 'textColor' with value '#fffffffff').

Still the colour is converting to black in layout.

Although I have got that the color code is not valid, it sholud be "#ffffffff"(White), but if it is not valid then why it is converting to black? What is happenig exactly?

Answer 1

You have nine f characters there instead of eight, which is why it's complaining. It's probably going to black because it fails validation and the default value is zero.

Answer 2

To Use transparent Color You Need To Replace #00000000 instead of #FFFFFFFFF

To Fix Error :-)
