How can I set the TextColor of a TextAppearanceSpan?

Question

Hi,

I currently able to create a Medium size TextAppearanceSpan, But how can I set the text color to a specified RBG color (say #c71585)?

new TextAppearanceSpan(context, android.R.style.TextAppearance_Medium);

I see there is a constructor for

public TextAppearanceSpan(Context context, int appearance,
                          int colorList) {

But what is the int for colorList? Is there any example for this?

Thank you.

Answer 1

According to the Docs:

public TextAppearanceSpan (Context context, int appearance, int colorList)

Uses the specified TextAppearance resource to determine the text appearance, and the specified text color resource to determine the color. The appearance should be, for example, android.R.style.TextAppearance_Small, and the colorList should be, for example, android.R.styleable.Theme_textColorDim.

Answer 2

Why not use a TextAppearanceSpan with no colorList, in conjunction with a ForegroundColorSpan?

Answer 3

sry, i can't add a comment, the above statement isn't totally correct... accessing the color via:

new ForegroundColorSpan(R.color.color_name,..)

not R.colors (as above)

scheme of colors.xml

< resources >

< color name="bright_green">#44f014< /color>
