getColor(int id) deprecated on Android 6.0 Marshmallow (API 23)

Question

The Resources.getColor(int id) method has been deprecated.

@ColorInt
@Deprecated
public int getColor(@ColorRes int id) throws NotFoundException          


        

Answer 1

Use the getColor(Resources, int, Theme) method of the ResourcesCompat from the Android Support Library.

int white = new ResourcesCompat().getColor(getResources(), R.color.white, null);

I think it reflect better your question than the getColor(Context, int) of the ContextCompat since you ask about Resources. Prior to API level 23, the theme will not be applied and the method calls through to getColor(int) but you'll not have the deprecated warning. The theme also may be null.
