Wishlist Make Color attribute readable

[jgcote]

Can you make the color readable on objects like spinner

If spinner1.color = Colors.Yellow

Gives a compile error
Error description: Property: Color is writeonly.

This is more complicated than it may sound. When you set the Color property you are actually create a ColorDrawable and then set it as the background drawable. Views doesn't have a separate color field. A simple solution is to store the color in the Tag property.

Surely you can query the color value of an object. VB does it well.
If not then your suggestion may work...
Thanks

This will be more an android os problem not the way Basic4Android operates.
