In his example, he uses: android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background" This refers not to a color per se, but to a Drawable, one that happens to be provided by the system (hence the @android prefix). If, say, you wanted the background to be red, you could use: android:background="#FFFF0000" where #FFFF0000 is red with no transparency (100% alpha channel) in AARRGGBB format. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/available-resources.html#colorvals -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Published! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
