How to store and get color from a Bundle?

I'm working on portrait and landscape view of an Android Apps. As the data are lost when we change orientations I thought to store the data in a bundle by overriding the method onSavedInstanceStateand restoring the data from onRestoreInstanceState. It is working fine but I want to store the background color of the app in the bundle since its a random color and I don't know what is the background color.

Can we do that or is there any other way around that can solve this problem?

Solution

  • You can pass the color as an integer. Something similar to this example:

    Random rnd = new Random(); 
int color = Color.argb(255, rnd.nextInt(256), rnd.nextInt(256), rnd.nextInt(256));   
view.setBackgroundColor(color);
