Douwe Siegersma Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 13, 2022 #1 Hello, I want to save the properties of an object (stored in a list) in a file. This goes well but when loading them again setting the background property gives an error. Java expects a ColorDrawable but gets a string. Is there a way to convert the string to a ColorDrawable again?

Also look at the Initialize2 method for ColorDrawable. If the color string is in hex form you can use ByteConverter.HexToBytes then ByteConverter.IntsFromBytes to get an Int color. Upvote 0
