How to convert a color integer to a hex String in Android?

Try Integer.toHexString()

Source: In Java, how do I convert a byte array to a string of hex digits while keeping leading zeros?

I believe i have found the answer, This code converts the integer to a hex string an removes the alpha.

Integer intColor = -16895234;
String hexColor = "#" + Integer.toHexString(intColor).substring(2);

Note only use this code if you are sure that removing the alpha would not affect anything.

You can use this for color without alpha:

String hexColor = String.format("#%06X", (0xFFFFFF & intColor));

or this with alpha:

String hexColor = String.format("#%08X", (0xFFFFFFFF & intColor));

Integer value of ARGB color to hexadecimal string:

String hex = Integer.toHexString(color); // example for green color FF00FF00

Hexadecimal string to integer value of ARGB color:

int color = (Integer.parseInt( hex.substring( 0,2 ), 16) << 24) + Integer.parseInt( hex.substring( 2 ), 16);

Here is what i did

 int color=//your color
 Integer.toHexString(color).toUpperCase();//upercase with alpha
 Integer.toHexString(color).toUpperCase().substring(2);// uppercase without alpha

Thanks guys you answers did the thing

With this method Integer.toHexString, you can have an Unknown color exception for some colors when using Color.parseColor.

And with this method String.format("#%06X", (0xFFFFFF & intColor)), you'll lose alpha value.

So I recommend this method:

public static String ColorToHex(int color) {
        int alpha = android.graphics.Color.alpha(color);
        int blue = android.graphics.Color.blue(color);
        int green = android.graphics.Color.green(color);
        int red = android.graphics.Color.red(color);

        String alphaHex = To00Hex(alpha);
        String blueHex = To00Hex(blue);
        String greenHex = To00Hex(green);
        String redHex = To00Hex(red);

        // hexBinary value: aabbggrr
        StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder("#");
        str.append(alphaHex);
        str.append(blueHex);
        str.append(greenHex);
        str.append(redHex );

        return str.toString();
    }

    private static String To00Hex(int value) {
        String hex = "00".concat(Integer.toHexString(value));
        return hex.substring(hex.length()-2, hex.length());
    }

If you use Integer.toHexString you will end-up with missed zeros when you convert colors like 0xFF000123. Here is my kotlin based solution which doesn't require neither android specific classes nor java. So you could use it in multiplatform project as well:

    fun Int.toRgbString(): String =
        "#${red.toStringComponent()}${green.toStringComponent()}${blue.toStringComponent()}".toUpperCase()

    fun Int.toArgbString(): String =
        "#${alpha.toStringComponent()}${red.toStringComponent()}${green.toStringComponent()}${blue.toStringComponent()}".toUpperCase()

    private fun Int.toStringComponent(): String =
        this.toString(16).let { if (it.length == 1) "0${it}" else it }

    inline val Int.alpha: Int
        get() = (this shr 24) and 0xFF

    inline val Int.red: Int
        get() = (this shr 16) and 0xFF

    inline val Int.green: Int
        get() = (this shr 8) and 0xFF

    inline val Int.blue: Int
        get() = this and 0xFF

Kotlin way (with alpha removed):

val str = color.toArgb().toHexString(HexFormat.Default).takeLast(6)

If you actually want to display the alpha component, remove the takeLast() call:

val str = color.toArgb().toHexString(HexFormat.Default)

Simon's solution works well, alpha supported and color cases with a leading "zero" values in R, G, B, A, hex are not being ignored. A slightly modified version for java Color to hex String conversion is:

    public static String ColorToHex (Color color) {
    int red = color.getRed();
    int green = color.getGreen();
    int blue = color.getBlue();
    int alpha = color.getAlpha(); 

    String redHex = To00Hex(red);
    String greenHex = To00Hex(green);
    String blueHex = To00Hex(blue);
    String alphaHex = To00Hex(alpha);

    // hexBinary value: RRGGBBAA
    StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder("#");
    str.append(redHex);
    str.append(greenHex);
    str.append(blueHex);
    str.append(alphaHex);

    return str.toString();
}

private static String To00Hex(int value) {
    String hex = "00".concat(Integer.toHexString(value));
    hex=hex.toUpperCase();
    return hex.substring(hex.length()-2, hex.length());
} 

another solution could be:

public static String rgbToHex (Color color) {

   String hex = String.format("#%02x%02x%02x%02x", color.getRed(), color.getGreen(), color.getBlue(), color.getAlpha() );
   hex=hex.toUpperCase();
       return hex;
}

String int2string = Integer.toHexString(INTEGERColor); //to ARGB
String HtmlColor = "#"+ int2string.substring(int2string.length() - 6, int2string.length()); // a stupid way to append your color

use this way in Koltin

var hexColor = "#${Integer.toHexString(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.colorTest))}"

Fixing alpha issue in Color picker libraries.

if you get an integer value in return when you pick color first convert it into the hex color.

    String hexVal = String.format("#%06X", (0xFFFFFFFF & 
    color)).toUpperCase();

    int length=hexVal.length();
    String withoutHash=hexVal.substring(1,length);


    while (withoutHash.length()<=7)
    {

        withoutHash="0"+withoutHash;

    }
    hexVal ="#"+withoutHash;

Here is the new Kotlin 1.9.0 standard library HexFormat:
(don't forget to add @OptIn(ExperimentalStdlibApi::class) where needed)

val myHexFormat = HexFormat {
    upperCase = false
    number.prefix = "#"
    number.removeLeadingZeros = true
}
val myInt = 0xb40e89
myInt.toHexString(myHexFormat)         // #b40e89

You could also use the Kotlin predefined HexFormats:

val myInt = 0xb40e89
myInt.toHexString(HexFormat.Default)   // 00b40e89
myInt.toHexString(HexFormat.UpperCase) // 00B40E89

To exclude the alpha from an ARGB integer, do this workaround:

(myInt and 0xFFFFFF).toHexString(myHexFormat)

And vote for this issue: Cannot ignore alpha when formatting with HexFormat
