Setting color of a Paint object in custom view

Question

I am trying to make a custom view and have declared the styled attributes like the below:-

Answer 1

In colors.xml

    #000000

To retrieve

Resources res = getResources();
int color = res.getColor(R.color.black_color);

Then set color to paint

thePaintObj.setColor(color);

Edit:

MyCustomView

public class CustomView extends View{

    Paint p;
    int color ;
    public CustomView(Context context) {
        this(context, null);
    }

    public CustomView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        this(context, attrs, 0);
    }

    public CustomView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        // real work here
        TypedArray a = context.getTheme().obtainStyledAttributes(
                attrs,
                R.styleable.NewCircleView,
                0, 0
        );

        try {

         color = a.getColor(R.styleable.NewCircleView_circlecolor, 0xff000000);
        } finally {
            // release the TypedArray so that it can be reused.
            a.recycle();
        }
        init();
    }

public void init()
{
      p = new Paint();
      p.setColor(color);
}

    @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onDraw(canvas);
        if(canvas!=null)
        {
        canvas.drawCircle(100, 100,30,p );
        }
    }

}
