How to add Hex font color to JLabel?

I have searched stackOverFlow for answers but I still cannot find it (android only. I am using command line). I want to add Hex color code as font color.

I used this for the first time, but I need to add from the JDK a given system / certain colors

g2l2.setForeground(Color.BLUE);

Something like that. But it doesn't work.

g2l2=new JLabel();
g2l2.setLocation(50,60);        
g2l2.setSize(150,30);        
g2l2.setText("Members");        
g2l2.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#43B7BA"));        
g2l2.setFont(new Font("Calibri Light",Font.BOLD,15));        
g2cont.add(g2l2);    
g2l2.addMouseListener(this);

ERROR: Cannot find symbol Color.parseColor (String) in Location: class Color.

You can try this:

Color myColor = Color.decode("#43B7BA");

This worked for me once.

Hope this helped you.



Sincerely.

By the way, you can also try using the "RGB" approach, there are many pages that can get RGB values ​​from hex code:

Color redColor = new Color(255,0,0)

I know this is an older thread, but I believe the OP's original problem did not include correct imports. He already understood the answer correctly.

import android.graphics.Color;

To parse HEX colors in Android, you just do this ... after import:



Color.parseColor("#000000")//BLACK

Or how the OP already had it ... after import:

g2l2.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#43B7BA"));
