Get color code from Google Calendar in Android

How can I parse color from Google event color code?

I got Google Calendar event like this

I printed my logcat in this format event title : calendar color code

01-12 14:46:40.190: E/(19626): ID : 22 : Happy birthday! : 16437605
01-12 14:46:40.190: E/(19626): ID : 23 : May Day : 13658980
01-12 14:46:40.190: E/(19626): ID : 24 : New Year's Day : 13658980
01-12 14:46:40.190: E/(19626): ID : 25 : Christmas Day : 13658980

I tried this like

holder.eventColor.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#"
                + data.get(position).calendar_color));

so 13658980 is in which format? I think it's not in ARGB

The data.get(position).calendar_color is a string that you need to convert to integer.

It does not contain alpha so you also need to add 0xff000000, for more information about this, see How to set background color of a View

The correct code is:

setBackgroundColor(0xff000000 + Integer.parseInt(data.get(position).calendar_color));

There was field in table from that you can get the Color of calendar. Using calendar URI you can get the color of and event here is the link for more details

Update

Ok I have tried your color using same way it parse and display the color. It too light teal color if you increase first two digit or remove it you can get it

setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#658980")); // removed alpha color

setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#13658980"));
