        <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#929292" />

you just need to pass that "drawable" file name as a resource

yourview.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.your_xml_drawable_file_name);

in your case

textView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.bg_color);

Use 

TextView et = new TextView(activity);
et.setText("350");
et.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(//some color));
