Converting android color string in runtime into int

Question

setBackgroundColor() only takes ints. I don't really know what int equals to what color. Is there a simple way to convert a string like #2222FF on runtime into an int?

But it is giving me a value like -14540033, i mean minus value, so is it true? – Paresh Mayani Jan 05 '12 at 07:29

@PareshMayani uh, why do you expect it to be positive? It's o.k. I guess. – Konstantin Burov Jan 06 '12 at 15:52
