getColor(int id) deprecated on Android 6.0 Marshmallow (API 23)

The Resources.getColor(int id) method has been deprecated.

@ColorInt
@Deprecated
public int getColor(@ColorRes int id) throws NotFoundException {
    return getColor(id, null);
}

What should I do?

Solution

  • Starting from Android Support Library 23,
    a new getColor() method has been added to ContextCompat.

    Its description from the official JavaDoc:

    Returns a color associated with a particular resource ID

    Starting in M, the returned color will be styled for the specified Context's theme.


    So, just call:

    ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.your_color);

    You can check the ContextCompat.getColor() source code on GitHub.
