how to transform from string to Color android

Question

I need to convert an string to Color my api response is this "mainColor": "#8439FF", i need to transformit to Color

i have tried the next solutions

    int color = Color.parseColor(mainColor);

val string = mainColor
val ColorPrimario = string.replaceFirst("^#".toRegex(), "").toInt(16)

the problem whit this solutions is that the result its an int not Color, and it marks error for that reason. any help would be appreciated

-------------Edit-------------

I have solved the problem i did it this way

val string = mainColor
val color = Color(string.toColorInt())

Try this:

val color: Color = Color.valueOf(Color.parseColor(mainColor))

tried this but the editor tells me that valueOf and paseColor are unresolved reference – user10625391 Aug 01 '22 at 16:15
@user10625391 You need to import `android.graphics.Color`. This *is* how you do it - parse the string to a colour int, then use that colour int to create a `Color` instance – cactustictacs Aug 01 '22 at 21:15
