Solution 1

Resources.GetColor has been deprecated. Make sure you use ContextCompat.GetColor instead.

Resources.GetColor(Resource.Color.HoloOrangeDark);

Will become

int colorInt = ContextCompat.GetColor(this.Context, Resource.Color.HoloOrangeDark))

ContextCompat returns a int so to get a Color out of it just create a new color and pass in the int.

Color color = new Color(colorInt);

Solution 2

You can try this:

Resources.GetColor(Resource.Color.HoloOrangeDark);

UPDATE:
Resources.GetColor has been deprecated. You can use from ContextCompat like below:

ContextCompat.GetColor(mContext, Resource.Color.HoloOrangeDark);

I have a value of Android.Resource.Color like Android.Resource.Color.HoloOrangeDark.
I want to covert it to a Android.Graphics.Color.
How can I do that?

  @pskink Android.Resource.Color is an enum value in Xamarin.Android representing constant integers for the Android.R.Color class in Android. So Android.Resource.Color is equal to the Anroid.R.Color in Android. The values are constant integers.

  so Resources.getColor() should probably work
