How do I use Color.rgb?

Question

I was following a tutorial, and I was experimenting with some pieces of code, and found that my Application kept crashing when I input "aditya". I know I'm using Color.rgb wrong, but I don't know how.

chkCmd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            String check = input.getText().toString();
            display.setText(check);
            f (check.equals("left")) {
                display.setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);
            } else if (check.equals("center")) {
                display.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
            } else if (check.equals("right")) {
                display.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
            } **else if (check.equals("aditya")) {
                display.setText(Color.rgb(184, 134, 011));**

Answer 1

This line

display.setText(Color.rgb(184, 134, 011))

is trying to set the text on the display to Color.rgb(184, 134, 011) .

What you are trying to do is set the color of the text. To accomplish this, write

display.setTextColor(Color.rgb(184, 134, 011))

before you set the text on the display.

Answer 2

You are trying to set the text to an integer of the parsed color as opposed to setting the color of the text. Try using this:

display.setTextColor(Color.rgb(184, 134, 011));

Answer 3

I think it crashes because Android sees an int as a Resource id, so it's not finding the resource and it crashes, try replacing

display.setText(Color.rgb(184, 134, 011));

to

display.setText(String.valueOf(Color.rgb(184, 134, 011)));

It should work
