Xamarin.Forms.Color to hex value

Question

I have a Xamarin.Forms.Color and I want to convert it to a \'hex value\'.

So far, I haven\'t found a solution to my problem.

My code is as follows:

Answer 1

a bit late but here is how I do that in Xamarin Forms (the Xamarin.Forms.Color class already exposes a FromHex(string) method.

public string ColorHexa { get; set; }
public Color Color
{
    get => Color.FromHex(ColorHexa);
    set => ColorHexa = value.ToHexString();
}

With this extension :

public static class ColorExtensions
{
    public static string ToHexString(this Color color, bool outputAlpha = true)
    {
        string DoubleToHex(double value)
        {
            return string.Format("{0:X2}", (int)(value * 255));
        }

        string hex = "#";
        if (outputAlpha) hex += DoubleToHex(color.A);
        return $"{hex}{DoubleToHex(color.R)}{DoubleToHex(color.G)}{DoubleToHex(color.B)}";
    }
}
