        android:layout_below="@+id/l2"/>


        />
</RelativeLayout>

How do I change the color of linearLayout based on the text I get from TypeOfCall textView (If contains BUY then another color if SELL then Other?

I tried various code structure but did not get a working solution.

Its an AppCompatActivity activity using ListView, and simple adapter to pulled in data which I am getting from google sheet.

You need to define a style sheet XML. Here is an example it should be located res/drawable folder in your project

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" >
   <solid android:color="#ffffff" />
   <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#4fa5d5" />
   <padding android:right="6dp" android:left="6dp" android:bottom="3dp" android:top="3dp" />
   <gradient
            android:endColor="#fa7921"
            android:startColor="#fa7921"
            android:angle="270" />
</shape>

And add some logic

 if(((TextView) appView.findViewById(R.id.TextViewToCheck)).getText().equals("SELL"))
 {
 appView.findViewById(R.id.l).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.layout_Sell)
 }
 else 
 appView.findViewById(R.id.l).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.layout_Buy)

How to I implement in my Code – Sujit Soni Jul 10 '19 at 08:37
well try it in onCreateView event see if that works – SomethingCool Jul 10 '19 at 08:45
or just when you are populating the TextField – SomethingCool Jul 10 '19 at 08:45
What is appView ? – Sujit Soni Jul 10 '19 at 10:05
your View, rootView , use the same method as you used here listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lv_items); but do textview or any other elements instead – SomethingCool Jul 10 '19 at 10:18
any luck @SujitSoni – SomethingCool Jul 10 '19 at 11:33
Nope, I tried but cannot get it to work , maybe I am not getting how do I implement. – Sujit Soni Jul 13 '19 at 09:22

Try extend the adapter, so replace:

        adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this,list,R.layout.list_item_row,
            new String[]{"scriptName","breakoutTime","TriggerPrice","StopLoss",
                    "rangeTarget","ReverseTrade"},
            new int[]{R.id.tv_scriptName,R.id.tv_breakoutTime,R.id.tv_TriggerPrice,R.id.tv_StopLoss,R.id.tv_target,R.id.tv_reverse});

with:

        adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this,list,R.layout.list_item_row,
            new String[]{"scriptName","breakoutTime","TriggerPrice","StopLoss",
                    "rangeTarget","ReverseTrade"},
            new int[]{R.id.tv_scriptName,R.id.tv_breakoutTime,R.id.tv_TriggerPrice,R.id.tv_StopLoss,R.id.tv_target,R.id.tv_reverse}){
        @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
            LinearLayout linearLayout = view.findViewById(R.id.l);
            TextView textView = view.findViewById(R.id.tv_TypeOfCall);
            String txt = textView.getText().toString();
            if(txt.equals("SELL")){
                linearLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);
            }else{
                linearLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
            }
            return view;
        }
    };

Hope that helps!
