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

Lots of these solutions work, but this is an alternative.

String hex="#00FF00"; // green
long thisCol=Long.decode(hex)+4278190080L;
int useColour=(int)thisCol;

If you don't add 4278190080 (#FF000000) the colour has an Alpha of 0 and won't show.
