Question

The Resources getColor int id  method has been deprecated    ColorInt  Deprecated public int getColor  ColorRes int id  throws NotFoundException       return getColor id  null       What should I do

Use the getColor Resources  int  Theme  method of the ResourcesCompat from the Android Support Library  int white   ResourcesCompat getColor getResources    R color white  null    I think it reflect better your question than the getColor Context  int  of the ContextCompat since you ask about Resources  Prior to API level 23  the theme will not be applied and the method calls through to getColor int  but you ll not have the deprecated warning  The theme also may be null

tl dr   ContextCompat getColor context  R color my color    Explanation   You will need to use ContextCompat getColor    which is part of the Support V4 Library  it will work for all the previous APIs    ContextCompat getColor context  R color my color    If you don t already use the Support Library  you will need to add the following line to the dependencies array inside your app build gradle  note  it s optional if you already use the appcompat  V7  library    compile  com android support support-v4 23 0 0    or any version above   If you care about themes  the documentation specifies that      Starting in M  the returned color will be styled for the specified   Context s theme

I don t want to include the Support library just for getColor  so I m using something like  public static int getColorWrapper Context context  int id        if  Build VERSION SDK INT  gt   Build VERSION CODES M            return context getColor id         else             noinspection deprecation         return context getResources   getColor id             I guess the code should work just fine  and the deprecated getColor cannot disappear from API  lt  23   And this is what I m using in Kotlin          Returns a color associated with a particular resource ID        Wrapper around the deprecated  Resources getColor  android content res Resources getColor        Suppress  DEPRECATION    ColorInt fun getColorHelper context  Context   ColorRes id  Int        if  Build VERSION SDK INT  gt   23  context getColor id  else context resources getColor id

If your current min  API level is 23  you can simply use getColor   like we are using to get string resources by getString       example textView setTextColor getColor R color green       if  Context  is not available  use with context getColor     You can constraint for API Levels below 23   if  Build VERSION SDK INT  gt   Build VERSION CODES M        textView setTextColor getColor R color green      else       textView setTextColor getResources   getColor R color green        but to keep it simple  you can do like below as accepted answer   textView setTextColor ContextCompat getColor context  R color green     From Resources   From ContextCompat AndroidX   From ContextCompat Support

The best equivalent is using ContextCompat getColor and ResourcesCompat getColor   I made some extension functions for quick migration   ColorInt fun Context getColorCompat  ColorRes colorRes  Int    ContextCompat getColor this  colorRes    ColorInt fun Fragment getColorCompat  ColorRes colorRes  Int    activity   getColorCompat colorRes    ColorInt fun Resources getColorCompat  ColorRes colorRes  Int    ResourcesCompat getColor this  colorRes  null

I got frustrated too  My need was very straightforward  All I wanted was the ARGB color from the resources  so I wrote a simple static method   protected static int getARGBColor Context c  int resId          throws Resources NotFoundException        TypedValue color   new TypedValue        try           c getResources   getValue resId  color  true             catch  Resources NotFoundException e            throw new Resources NotFoundException                    String format  Failed to find color for resourse id 0x 08x                                   resId               if  color type    TYPE INT COLOR ARGB8            throw new Resources NotFoundException                    String format                         Resourse id 0x 08x is of type 0x 02d  Expected TYPE INT COLOR ARGB8                         resId  color type                        return color data
