Layout: Label color

If you are trying to change the text color, you can ask the view for the drawable, and then you can change the color. For example, if your layout has a label with id="blah", you could write getDrawableById("blah").setColor(Gfx.COLOR_RED) in the view implementation to change the label color.

Another option would be to make a custom drawable class that looks to a variable you control for its color, and then update your resource file to use the custom drawable. Something like this...

class MyText extends Ui.Drawable
{
static var backgroundColor = Gfx.COLOR_BLACK;
static var foregroundColor = Gfx.COLOR_WHITE;
var font;
var text;
var justification;

function initialize(params) {
Drawable.initialize(params);

font = params[:font];
text = params[:text];
justification = params[:justification];
}

function draw(dc) {
dc.setColor(foregroundColor, backgroundColor);
dc.drawText(locX, locY, font, text, justification);
}
}

// then to change the text color of all of your text elements
MyText.backgroundColor = Gfx.COLOR_WHITE;
MyText.foregroundColor = Gfx.COLOR_BLACK;

// force a redraw with the new colors
Ui.requestUpdate();


I'm pretty sure that should all work...
