Convert hex color value ( #ffffff ) to integer value

Question

I am receiving hex color values from a server (in this form, #xxxxxx , example #000000 for black)

How do I convert this to an integer value

Answer 1

Get Shared Preferences Color Code in String then Convert to integer and add layout-background color:

    sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(mypref, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    String sw=sharedPreferences.getString(name, "");
    relativeLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor(sw));
