How to set the text color of TextView in code?

Question

In XML, we can set a text color by the textColor attribute, like android:textColor=\"#FF0000\". But how do I change it by coding?

I tried s

I did this way: Create a XML file, called Colors in res/values folder.

My Colors.xml:

    

    #cc0000
    #4c4cff
    #000000
    #CFDBC5
    #ffffff
    #cccc00
    #66b266

To get this colors from the xml file, I've used this code: valor it's a TextView, and ctx it's a Context object. I'm not using it from an Activity, but a BaseAdapter to a ListView. That's why I've used this Context Object.

valor.setTextColor(ctx.getResources().getColor(R.color.azul_credito));

Hope it helps.
