Answer 1

This question is a old one but it can help for others too.

Try this :

    li.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.blue));

    or

    li.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.red));

    or

    li.setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(226, 11, 11));


    or
    li.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED)
