Xamarin.Forms.Color to hex value
Just a quick fix, the last line is wrong.
Alpha channel comes before the other values:
string hex = String.Format("#{0:X2}{1:X2}{2:X2}{3:X2}", alpha, red, green, blue);
and this is best for an extension method:
public static class ExtensionMethods
{
public static string GetHexString(this Xamarin.Forms.Color color)
{
var red = (int)(color.R * 255);
var green = (int)(color.G * 255);
var blue = (int)(color.B * 255);
var alpha = (int)(color.A * 255);
var hex = $"#{alpha:X2}{red:X2}{green:X2}{blue:X2}";
return hex;
}
}
a bit late but here is how I do that in Xamarin Forms (the Xamarin.Forms.Color class already exposes a FromHex(string) method.
public string ColorHexa { get; set; }
public Color Color
{
get => Color.FromHex(ColorHexa);
set => ColorHexa = value.ToHexString();
}
With this extension :
public static class ColorExtensions
{
public static string ToHexString(this Color color, bool outputAlpha = true)
{
string DoubleToHex(double value)
{
return string.Format("{0:X2}", (int)(value * 255));
}
string hex = "#";
if (outputAlpha) hex += DoubleToHex(color.A);
return $"{hex}{DoubleToHex(color.R)}{DoubleToHex(color.G)}{DoubleToHex(color.B)}";
}
}
var color = Xamarin.Forms.Color.Orange;
int red = (int) (color.R * 255);
int green = (int) (color.G * 255);
int blue = (int) (color.B * 255);
int alpha = (int)(color.A * 255);
string hex = String.Format("#{0:X2}{1:X2}{2:X2}{3:X2}", red, green, blue, alpha);
