how to apply hex value to color class

[swapnel surade]

Hi,

I have a color value as #555656. I want to apply this value to java.awt.Color class.
This class accepts the value from 0 to 255...
how to convert this hex value to specified value for Color class ?

thanks

Did you check the API? Did you find anything which would decode a hexadecimal string and return the Color?

Interger.parseInt(str,int) do that.... but the problem is, value returned from this method applicable for color class

My bad.
I meant the API for the Color class

I have converted the hex to int and it worked for me...

Too bad.
You could have used

public static Color decode(String nm)

From the API docs

Converts a String to an integer and returns the specified opaque Color. This method handles string formats that are used to represent octal and hexidecimal numbers.
