I've read the note about how colours in Eclipse are handled differently than in the Processing IED, but I just can't work this out. I'm trying to take a Hex code as a string and use it for a color, but I can't get it to work as it should.

This works as it should:
Code:

int colo = parent.color(0xFF119900);


parent.fill(colo);

 

But I'm starting from a string. So I tried this code:

Code:

String st = "0xFF119900";


int colo = parent.color(Integer.parseInt(st,16));


parent.fill(colo);

 

But it produces this error:
Exception in thread "Animation Thread" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "0xFF119900"

I also tried removing '0x' from the string:
Code:

String st = "FF119900";


int colo = parent.color(Integer.parseInt(st,16));


parent.fill(colo);
 

It produces a similar error.

However, when I change the string as below, it works:

Code:

String st = "79119900";


int colo = parent.color(Integer.parseInt(st,16));


parent.fill(colo);
 

...except that it's semi-transparent. If the first two characters are 79 or lower, the code works except for the transparency, but if the characters are 80 or higher, I get the exception error.

I've also tried it using parent.unhex() rather than Integer.parseInt(), but the result is the same.

Any solutions, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Ah, that works perfectly and makes sense now, but I never would have figured that out on my own. Many thanks!
