How can I use UIColorFromRGB in Swift?

Question

In Objective-C, we use this code to set RGB color codes for views:

#define UIColorFromRGB(rgbValue)        
[UIColor colorWithRed:((float)((rgbValue & 0x         


        

Answer 1

Here's a Swift version of that function (for getting a UIColor representation of a UInt value):

func UIColorFromRGB(rgbValue: UInt) -> UIColor {
    return UIColor(
        red: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0,
        green: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0,
        blue: CGFloat(rgbValue & 0x0000FF) / 255.0,
        alpha: CGFloat(1.0)
    )
}

view.backgroundColor = UIColorFromRGB(0x209624)
