Unable to parse ARGB hex to integer

Question

I'm trying to parse an ARGB hex String to an int but it's not working.

My code:

int color = Integer.parseInt("ff686868", 16);

Exception:

java.lang.NumberFormatException: unable to parse 'ff686868' as integer
at java.lang.Integer.parse(Integer.java:438)
at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:422)
...

When I try to parse a normal RGB String like 686868 it does work but when I add the alpha it breaks down. I hope someone can help me.

Answer 1

The number would be too big for integer.

Use: Long.parseLong(..)

Answer 2

Use java.lang.Long.parseLong() — int is signed so it is only 31 bits + 1 sign bit, and you use all 4 * 8 = 32 bits.

Answer 3

You can use Color.parseColor(String) to get the int

Answer 4

Color.parseColor(String);

if itz hexacode do this

Color.parseColor("#ffffff");
