SetBackgroundColor for Button from Resource file in Xamarin (Android)

Issue

I want to set the background color of a Button. I am using Visual Studio with Xamarin.

In Android we use:

Java code :

button_vstrong_fluorescence.setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(InventoryActivity.this, R.color.linear_filter_background));

but In Xamarin C# code.

button_vstrong_fluorescence.SetBackgroundColor(Android.Graphics.Color.ParseColor("#EBECEC"));

In C# the upper code is work fine.

But every time i want right this thing static way

Android.Graphics.Color.ParseColor("#EBECEC")

Is there any way I can set #EBECEC this color from my Resource.

the Color.ParseColor require String value so .

What I Try :

Android.Graphics.Color.ParseColor(Resource.Colors.linear_filter_background.ToString);

But it give me below error.

Is there any way to set Background color from Resource??

Any help be Apreciated.

Solution

Not an expert in Xamarin (or C#) but something like this should work to get your color resource:

button_vstrong_fluorescence
    .SetBackgroundColor(new Android.Graphics.Color(
        ContextCompat.GetColor(this, Resource.Color.linear_filter_background))
    );
