https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8089054/get-the-background-color-of-a-button-in-android The onClick method gives you the view that you clicked as `View v`, so you can get the background colour from there — MSpeed, Jun 12 '19 at 13:38

Please see this video.

When doing the key-value pairs I would store integers and then translate them back into colors. For example, if I store "1" with the key "button1-color" then when using getString("button_color") translate this into a color, say

1 -> red
2 -> orange
3 -> yellow
4 -> green
5 -> blue

Create a SharedPreference instance

mSharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("shared_pref_name", MODE_PRIVATE);

Add these methods in your Activity


    private void saveViewColor(int viewId, int color) {
        mSharedPreferences.edit().putInt(String.valueOf(viewId), color).apply();
    }

    private int getViewColor(int viewId) {
        return mSharedPreferences.getInt(String.valueOf(viewId), Color.parseColor("#FFFFFF"));
    }

    private void removeViewColor(int viewId) {
        mSharedPreferences.edit().remove(String.valueOf(viewId)).apply();
    }

    private void clearAll() {
        mSharedPreferences.edit().clear();
    }

Invoke method when view click

view.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {


        int colorInt = Color.BLUE;

        Drawable drawable = v.getBackground();

        //get color from the view which being clicked
        if (drawable instanceof ColorDrawable) {
            colorInt = ((ColorDrawable) drawable).getColor();
        }

        int viewId = v.getId();

        v.setBackgroundColor(colorInt);

        //save color
        saveViewColor(viewId, colorInt);

        //get current view color
        getViewColor(viewId);

        //remove color for current view
        removeViewColor(viewId);

        //clear all SharedPreferences not only the color
        clearAll();
    }
});

The way I would do that is create a new Preferences class to store all of your colours, then create getters and setters for each.

public class Preferences extends Activity {

public static final String PREF_FILE = "MyPrefsFileKey";

public int setColour1() {
        SharedPreferences prefs = getContext().getSharedPreferences(PREF_FILE, MODE_PRIVATE);

        colour = prefs.getInt("colour1Key", 0); //0 being the default value.

      return colour1;
    }

    public int getColour1(int colour1) {

        SharedPreferences pref = getContext().getSharedPreferences(PREF_FILE, MODE_PRIVATE);
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = pref.edit();

        editor.putInt("colour1Key", colour1);
        editor.apply();
        return colour1;
    }
}

Now to save your colour, simply add this under each case. However you will need to create more getters and setters for each.

preferences.getColour1(getContext(), myIntValue1);

Remember to add a new instance of your Preferences class in the class you're saving from like this

Preferences preferences = new Preferences();

Let me know if you have any trouble.

-- EDIT apparently I cannot edit until I have 50 reputation. In your code you had .setBackgroundColor (myIntValue) myIntValue1 being the value of the first colour you're trying to save.

(preferences.getColour1(getContext(), myIntValue1);) What is this myIntValue1 ?? — Swapnil Patil, Jun 14 '19 at 06:13
