Let's say, on my API call I have a parameter that's called color . Is it possible to edit or modify an existent R.colors.color to assign the color from the API result? As an example: I make a call to my API and it returns green , now I want to load my app with i.e (green Toolbar , green TextView color, etc.), is that possible? My first thought was: Create a item on colors.xml called demo then assign it a default color, then use this demo color wherever I want ( Button , TextView , etc.) Then I thought it could be possible to change this value programmatically with the result from the API so I

I've searched on Google, but couldn't find any relevant results. I also checked the official Android docs and this page (for all the available resources) was all I could find. The relevant links (to the res/values/ directory) I found on this page were: string resources style resources more resources These pages don't tell anything about the res/values/public.xml file.

I'm in the mid of my studies in the Android world, and I just covered the Assets and Raw resources. I'm trying to understand the reason for using Raw resources vs. Assets.

The main differences between the raw folder and the Assets folder. Since raw

I want to remove all unused layouts, strings, drawables, colors, etc from my Android res directory. Are there any tools that will give me a list of files and I can remove from my repository and elements within specifics files (e.g. unused string entries) that are no longer used? bakua You can easily search for unused resources from Android Studio. Just press Ctrl Alt Shift i and type " unused resources " (without quotes). That will execute lint. Super easy way to run lint commands (and other stuff from IDE). OR In Android Studio Menu > Refactor > Remove Unused Resources... Select the resources

I have 4 buttons and 1 TextView. I want each of the buttons to add or subtract a different amount from the value (parsed to int) in the TextView. When I click on one of the buttons it throws fatal errors (listed below). I've searched some other Stackoverflow discussions and nothing seems to be working. Here is my current activity: public class PaydownSnowball extends Activity { int aAmt; String debtExtraPayment; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.snowball); final Button plusTen = (Button) findViewById(R.id
