Samsung S3 colors issue

Question

We are experiencing a color change only in S3.

The color is well defined as Hex in the layout XML.

on all devices it is green, but on S3 it some times turns red

Edit due to the negative responses:

Just to be clear, the color was changing on S3 only sometimes, and in run time.

apparently calling set background to a previusly set view caused this to other views in other activities that had the original color set for them as well

This question related to programming..he ask background color issue in android programming — Ranjithkumar, Oct 02 '15 at 05:41
Are you sure the S3 doesn't have "show overdraw" developer option turned on? It changes view's color like this: http://img.blog.csdn.net/20150413180627356 — wasyl, Oct 05 '15 at 20:11

@RanjithKumar did you use any transparency in @color/black_60? — Niko Adrianus Yuwono, Oct 09 '15 at 05:05
@nayoso No I don`t use transparency. I just define color code #434343 in colors.xml..But samsung some times refer the another color(ex @color/orange) from colors.xml — Ranjithkumar, Oct 09 '15 at 05:29

Try to set the color in a different way:

YourView.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(255, 255, 255, 255));

And so not from the xml-files.

dude, I think its not related with your coding or Hex value, check display settings for S3. Go to settings and then select display and then select screen mode and finally choose Natural option from it. Hope it works. You may try other variations from it.

Apparently On S3 (at least) if you set in the layout a views background, and then change it programmatically to a different color, the original color will show as the new color throughout your app.

Jitesh Dalsaniya & Salman Khan, you can try and recreate what i have described.

Hope this post will help anyone that runs into this weird issue.
