How to use a resource color id with .setBackgroundDrawable

Issue

I am trying to color my toolbar and status bar with two colors I have defined in the colors.xml file.

((AppCompatActivity) getActivity())
                .getSupportActionBar()
                .setBackgroundDrawable(?);


window.setStatusBarColor(?);

What should be put inside the brackets in order to refer to R.color.a and R.color.b ?

Solution

Pass RGB value of the color

getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.rgb(248, 248, 248)));

To pass Resourse id

getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(),R.color.primary)));
