A simple category on UIColor that creates UIColors from hex strings.
WARNING: 1.1 is a breaking change, due to the addition of support for alpha. Please update your calls to ILHexStringColor accordingly.
A demo project ILHexStringColorDemo is included to show how ILHexStringColor can be integrated into a project.
- Copy the following 2 files into your Xcode project. Be sure to check "Copy items into destination's group folder".
UIColor+ILHexStringColor.hUIColor+ILHexStringColor.m
- Add the line
#include "UIColor+ILHexStringColor.h"to the file that you want to use this category's methods in.
This can either take RGB or ARGB.
UIColor *purpleColor = [UIColor colorWithHexString:@"#a81be0"];
or with Alpha
UIColor *purpleColor = [UIColor colorWithHexString:@"#23a81be0"];
NSString *bkgHex = [UIColor hexStringFromColor:self.view.backgroundColor];
This returns the color in ARGB format.
- ARC
- iOS 2.0 or later
