Reading label color?

[HotShoe]

Is there a way to read a labels color in b4a? I am using a series of labels in a configuration routine that allows users to see and set the various colors used in the app. Writing the support routines, I discovered that the label.color property is write only? Why?

Is there some light weight way to display, set, and read current and or changed colors that is faster/easier than a label?

Good question!

So Erel:
Why exist write-only properties?

It is write-only because unlike .Net Android views don't have a Color property. Setting the Color property actually assigns a ColorDrawable as the view's drawable property.

I cured it by just saving the value in the Tag property.

Thanks,

Mmm, that makes sense.

Thank you for the explanation!
