How to I properly set UIColor from int?

Question

I am trying to set the textColor of a UITextView by assigning it a value.

Earlier in the program I have

textView.textColor         


        

Answer 1

it was necessary to use

textView.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:<#(CGFloat)#> green:<#(CGFloat)#> blue:<#(CGFloat)#> alpha:<#(CGFloat)#>];

try it:

- (UIColor *)UIColorFromRGB:(NSInteger)rgbValue {
    return [UIColor colorWithRed:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16))/255.0
                           green:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF00) >> 8))/255.0
                            blue:((float)(rgbValue & 0xFF))/255.0
                           alpha:1.0];
}

...

textView.textColor = [self UIColorFromRGB:0x888888];
