Chapter 4 Compass background color

Is this a typo or is there something I'm not understanding about why we don't use r.getColor here? It works fine without but produces a different background color and I'm guessing we're just getting lucky since the reference and the color value we expect are both integers.

Quote:

circlePaint.setColor(r.getColor(R.color.background _color));
//circlePaint.setColor(R.color.background_color);

Later when using setColor for the text and marker Paint objects we do use r.getColor.

Thanks.

You're exactly right. There's a typo there that should read (as you suggest):

Code:

circlePaint.setColor(r.getColor(R.color.background_color));

Thanks for pointing it out, hope it didn't slow you down much
