A TaskDescription's primary color should be opaque Android 6.0

Question

my code is,

 if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(),R.drawable.app_icon);
        ActivityManager.TaskDescription taskDescription = new ActivityManager.TaskDescription("AppName", bm ,R.color.colorPrimaryDark);
        setTaskDescription(taskDescription);
    }

in colors.xml

<color name="colorPrimaryDark">#FF9800</color> 

it gives error java.lang.RuntimeException: A TaskDescription's primary color should be opaque

EDIT 1:

manifest.xml

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/app_icon3"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

styles.xml

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#242533</item>
    <item name="colorPrimary">#242533</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/white</item>                    

</style>

what is the problem here?

Answer 1

The reason is that TaskDescription("AppName", bm ,R.color.colorPrimaryDark) needs colour value as parameter and you're using resource id. It is not the same, you have to get your colour via method context.getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimaryDark).

Change :

ActivityManager.TaskDescription taskDescription = new ActivityManager.TaskDescription("AppName", bm ,R.color.colorPrimaryDark);

to

ActivityManager.TaskDescription taskDescription = new ActivityManager.TaskDescription("AppName", bm , ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.colorPrimaryDark));
