Color Preference default incorrect? about android-colorpickerpreference HOT 8 CLOSED

this code:
mysharedPreferences.getInt("mechanism_color",R.integer.COLOR_Fuchsia);
even not part of ColorPickerPreference, it's part of android.content.SharedPreferences.
The problem is, when you don't have any preferences saved in your app, this code should return default value from second param

from android-colorpickerpreference.

Thanks, yes. I know its my code, so entirely my problem.

However, I am using the ColorPickerPreference in exactly the same way as I am using ListPreference, CheckBoxPreference etc. These all return the correct values (ie the correct DefaultValue) whether I have used the Preference or not. For my ColorPicker Preference, the correct value is not returned until after I have used the Preference the first time. The incorrect value has Red = 5, Blue = 0, Green =1 which is very nearly black, which is a very bad default color. It does not return the default value in my settings.xml, set up as follows:

<com.test.ColorPickerPreference
android:key="mechanism_color" android:title="Mechanism Color"
android:summary="Your preferred mechanism color" android:defaultValue="@integer/COLOR_Fuchsia" />

With COLOR_Fuchsia = 0xffff00ff in my values/integer

Whilst acknowledging that the problem must be mine, I am using the ColorPickerPreference in exactly the same way as all my other Preferences, but it does function differently.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

ListPreference, stores value as String & CheckBoxPreference stores value as Boolean, so u call mysharedPreferences.getString & mysharedPreferences.getBoolean respectively. Maybe it's some issue with SharedPreferences.getInt..
but shouldn't, it's one of android's important function :)
later i'll try to recreate your problem

I am already in your debt for producing such a terrific
colorpickerPreference, which apart from the problem I am having is great -
it is the only one I know which shows the color directly in the Preference
screen. Very attractive.

Whatever help you may care to provide would be most welcome, but I know from
my own experience that it is almost always something I have done wrong. It
is just that in this case what I am doing seems exactly the same as what I
do for other preferences, which seems to work, so I don't really know where
to go.

Thanks again for your help thus far.

glad to read this strings :)

You need to override onSetInitialValue:
@OverRide
protected void onSetInitialValue(boolean restoreValue, Object defaultValue) {
onColorChanged(restoreValue ? getValue() : (Integer) defaultValue);
}

Thanx roflharrison, i will add this in near future, when i will be available for some programming actions :)
at this time i'm not able to do this.
btw someone can modify code & make pull request, so i'll accept it

from android-colorpickerpreference.

Same problem here, the color:

<color name="colorPrimary">#FF2196F3</color>

Getting recognized as: #FF2096F3 (the 1 is a 0)

Any idea how to fix this?
