How to convert hex to rgb using Java?

Question

How can I convert hex color to RGB code in Java? Mostly in Google, samples are on how to convert from RGB to hex.

Answer 1

A hex color code is #RRGGBB

RR, GG, BB are hex values ranging from 0-255

Let's call RR XY where X and Y are hex character 0-9A-F, A=10, F=15

The decimal value is X*16+Y

If RR = B7, the decimal for B is 11, so value is 11*16 + 7 = 183

public int[] getRGB(String rgb){
    int[] ret = new int[3];
    for(int i=0; i<3; i++){
        ret[i] = hexToInt(rgb.charAt(i*2), rgb.charAt(i*2+1));
    }
    return ret;
}

public int hexToInt(char a, char b){
    int x = a < 65 ? a-48 : a-55;
    int y = b < 65 ? b-48 : b-55;
    return x*16+y;
}
