Get color of TextView

Question

I set color of my TextView randomly. I have array String[] colors = {"BLUE", "RED", "GREEN", "BLACK", "YELLOW", "GRAY"}. I need to check if color of my TextView in this array and return index. How can I do it?

Answer 1

First get the text (or background) color from your TextView. Then simply iterate over your list of colors (not color names) and return the index when you find a match.

When you use List instead of an array the indexOf() function already does this for you.

int textColor = textView.getCurrentTextColor();
List<Integer> colors = Arrays.asList(Color.BLUE, Color.RED, Color.GREEN, Color.BLACK, Color.YELLOW, Color.GRAY);
int index = colors.indexOf(textColor);
