`TextView.setTextColor()` takes an int representing the color (eg. 0xFFF5DC49) and not the resource ID from the xml file. In an activity, you can do something like:

    
       textView1.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.mycolor))


outside of an activity you&#39;ll need a `Context` eg.


       textView1.setTextColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.mycolor))




     textView1.setTextColor(Color.parseColor(&quot;#F5DC49&quot;));

 
 without resources 

# **`context.getResources().getColor`** is Deprecated.


You need to use **[ContextCompat.getColor()][1]**, which is part of the **Support V4 Library** (so it will work for all the previous API).

    ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.my_color);

You will need to add the Support V4 library by adding the following to the `dependencies` array inside your app build.gradle:

    compile &#39;com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.1&#39; # or any version above

If you care about theming, the documentation specifies that the method will use the context&#39;s theme:

&gt; Starting in M, the returned color will be styled for the specified
&gt; Context&#39;s theme

How should I access the `param1` value from the included jsp (`navMenu.jsp`)? 

	&lt;jsp:include page=&quot;navMenu.jsp&quot; &gt;
		&lt;jsp:param name=&quot;param1&quot; value=&quot;menu&quot; /&gt;
	&lt;/jsp:include&gt;

I&#39;m trying to implement a &lt;code&gt;SlidingDrawer&lt;/code&gt; that will occupy the full screen width, but whose height is determined dynamically by its contents: in other words, standard &lt;code&gt;fill_parent&lt;/code&gt; layout behaviour for the width and &lt;code&gt;wrap_content&lt;/code&gt; for the height. That&#39;s exactly how I&#39;ve specified it in the layout XML (see below) but the sliding drawer always opens to the full screen height. The height of my content varies, but typically it&#39;s only about half the screen height, so I end up with a big gap underneath it. What I&#39;d like is for the content to sit neatly on the bottom of the screen.

I&#39;ve tried everything I can think of to fix it but nothing&#39;s worked so far. If I set the &lt;code&gt;SlidingDrawer&lt;/code&gt;&#39;s &lt;code&gt;layout_height&lt;/code&gt; to a specific value (e.g. &lt;code&gt;160dip&lt;/code&gt;) it works, but that&#39;s not what I need: it has to be dynamic. Of course I&#39;ve made sure all the child elements have their height set to &lt;code&gt;wrap_content&lt;/code&gt; too.

The documentation on SlidingDrawer is a bit vague on this and I haven&#39;t been able to find any examples that do what I&#39;m after either. If anyone can see where I&#39;m going wrong I&#39;d really appreciate your help!

    &lt;color name=&quot;mycolor1&quot;&gt;#F5DC49&lt;/color&gt;

If I use 
     
     textview1.setTextColor(Color.CYAN);

it works, but

     textview1.setTextColor(R.color.mycolor1);

is not working.

How can I use the color defined in the XML file?

I&#39;m trying to use in my `Android Application` the `notifyDataSetChanged()` method for an `ArrayAdapter` but it doesn&#39;t work for me. 

I found [as answer here][1], that `notifyDataSetChanged()` should run in the main thread, but there was no example for that.

Could anybody send an example or at least a link?!

Is there anyway to find out if a device is portrait or landscape by default? In that I mean how you normally use the device. 

Most phones have a portrait screen for normal usage but is there some flag for finding that out?

I want to know *when*, *where* and *how* adapters are used in the context of Android.

Is there a clever way to let the user switch between hide and view password in an android EditText?
A number of PC based apps let the user do this.


How to switch between hide and view password

I have a VideoView that takes up the top half of the Activity in portrait orientation with the bottom half of the screen showing some images and text.  I am playing a rtsp video stream in the video view when the Activity starts.  I have attached a MediaController to the VideoView via the following code:

		MediaController controller = new MediaController(this);
		controller.setAnchorView(this.videoView);
		controller.setMediaPlayer(this.videoView);
		this.videoView.setMediaController(controller);

When I tap the VideoView to bring up the MediaController on the screen I expected the playback controls to appear overlaying the bottom area of the VideoView (the bottom of the MediaController even with the bottom of the VideoView).  Instead the MediaController pops up lower down on the screen, overlaying some of the graphics and text I have below the VideoView.  

Are there some additional steps I need to take to get the MediaController to appear where I want it to on the screen?
