Get color resource as string

Issue

I'm trying to use Color.parseColor() on a color resource:

<color name="redish">#FF0000</color>

I've tried this, but it gives me the error Unknown color:

Color.parseColor(Integer.toHexString(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.redish)))

How do I convert the color resource to a String properly?

Solution

I think you missed #

Color.parseColor("#"+Integer.toHexString(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.redish)))
