You can do this only from an XML file too.

Create a color.xml file in the values folder:

    #ffcc33

Then in any XML file, you can set color for text using,

android:textColor="@color/textbody"

Or you can use this color in a Java file:

final TextView tvchange12 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
//Set color for textbody from color.xml file
tvchange1.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.textbody));
