setTextcolor by using getCurrentTextColor()

I need to get current text color form TextView and then assign this value to TextView.setTextColor(). But I get a large int -1979711488138, how can I get a color from it?

You cannot fit the number into an int, I get -1979711488 which is #8A000000 i.e. black with 138 alpha. You can get all parts of the color like this:

int color = getCurrentTextColor();
int a = Color.alpha(color);
int r = Color.red(color);
int g = Color.green(color);
int b = Color.blue(color);

It's really strange why the default text color is not a solid color but rather black with an alpha value as that is more expensive for the system.

Suppose you want to set color from textView1 to textView then you can do like this:

textView.setTextColor(textView1.getCurrentTextColor());

 public class MainActivity extends Activity
 {

    private TextView txtViewIpLable,textView1;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        init();
        textView1.setTextColor(txtViewIpLable.getTextColors());
    }
    private void init() 
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
       txtViewIpLable = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtViewIpLable);
       textView1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
    }

Integer intColor = -1979711488138;
String hexColor = "#" + Integer.toHexString(intColor).substring(2);

or

String hexColor = String.format("#%06X", (0xFFFFFF & intColor));
