Changing gradient background colors on Android at runtime

Question

I\'m experimenting with Drawable backgrounds and have had no problems so far.

I\'m now trying to change the gradient background color at runtime.

Unfortunate

Answer 1

Try my code below:

 int[] colors = new int[2];
            colors[0] = getRandomColor();
            colors[1] = getRandomColor();


            GradientDrawable gd = new GradientDrawable(
                    GradientDrawable.Orientation.TOP_BOTTOM, colors);

            gd.setGradientType(GradientDrawable.RADIAL_GRADIENT);
            gd.setGradientRadius(300f);
            gd.setCornerRadius(0f);
            YourView.setBackground(gd);

Method for generating random color:

public static int getRandomColor(){
    Random rnd = new Random();
    return Color.argb(255, rnd.nextInt(256), rnd.nextInt(56), rnd.nextInt(256));
}
