Adding More Colors

It's finally time to add colors to our app. 0:00 Let's create a new class called ColorWheel, that stores our colors and 0:03 picks new ones for us. 0:07 It'll be very similar to our FactBook class. 0:08 In the project name, let's right-click on the package name and 0:12 select New > Kotlin File/Class. 0:16 Let's name it ColorWheel. 0:19 Make it a class instead of a file, and hit Enter. 0:22 Now we're going to copy and past our code from our FactBook class and 0:26 make a few key changes. 0:29 Let's switch over to our FactBook class. 0:32 Then let's select everything after the word, 0:35 FactBook then use Cmd, or Ctrl+C to copy it. 0:38 Then let's go back to the ColorWheel class, 0:41 select everything after the word ColorWheel. 0:44 Then use Cmd, or Ctrl+V to paste it back in. 0:47 Android Studio then notices that we're missing an import. 0:52 We didn't copy the import statement form our FactBook class, 0:55 which means it didn't get pasted here. 0:57 Hit OK to generate the import, and now we're good to go. 1:00 Instead of facts, we'd like these to be colors. 1:04 Let's start by refactoring facts to be named colors. 1:07 Right click on facts, select Refactor > Rename. 1:11 Note that the keyboard shortcut is Shift+F6, and 1:16 then type colors and hit Enter. 1:20 Now I'm going to copy and paste in some colors in the form of hexadecimal strings. 1:24 Remember, the colors we want to use are the Treehouse topic colors from the web. 1:30 Here's the color sheet we looked at before. 1:35 There's a link in the teacher's notes below. 1:37 If you want, you can come to this page and individually grab each code and 1:39 create the array. 1:43 But I'll copy and paste in the array from the teachers notes to save time. 1:44 Okay, let's copy the array and then back in Android Studio, 1:48 I'm going to put this last closing parenthesis on a new line. 1:52 And then paste our colors array over our facts array. 1:55 Now, that we've got all our colors, let's make a few changes to the getFact method. 1:59 First off, we probably shouldn't call it getFact anymore. 2:04 Let's change it to getColor. 2:08 Since this method is never used, that's what this gray text is telling us, 2:10 we don't need to bother with refactoring. 2:14 We can just rename it the old-fashioned way. 2:16 Great! 2:20 Now the cool thing is we don't need to change anything about our randomNumber 2:21 generator. 2:25 We still use the random class and 2:26 still pick a random number based on the length of the array up here. 2:27 Though we should change the comment to say Randomly select a color. 2:32 Now let's get back to FunFactsActivity. 2:37 And the first thing we need to do is create a new ColorWheel object as 2:40 a property, just like we did with FaceBook. 2:44 Let's add a new line at the top below our FactBook and create a new private vowel 2:47 named colorWheel. 2:51 And set it equal to a new ColorWheel. 2:56 Now down in our on click listener, 3:00 we can pick a new color just like we did for the fact. 3:02 Let's add a couple lines after we set our fact and 3:06 then type val color = colorWheel.getColor(). 3:12 Then let's use our new color variable as a parameter to 3:18 this setBackgroundColor method. 3:21 Which gives us an error. 3:24 If we hover over it, we'll see the we're getting a type mismatch. 3:27 The method expects an int, but we're giving it a string. 3:31 So how are we gonna make this work? 3:34 Well, don't worry, as usual there is this simple solution. 3:37 We need to convert data like this a lot in programming. 3:40 Remember programming is primarily about working with and manipulating data. 3:43 Let's take a short break, and then in the next video, we'll fix this error. 3:48
