I try to set the background color of a TableRow. Currently I have this in my XML file:

android:background="@color/buttonBackground"

and i work great. But when it run

row.setBackgroundColor(R.color.red);

the row disappears. Can someone explain why that is?

I believe you need to do:

Resources resource = context.getResources();
row.setBackgroundColor(resource.getColor(R.color.red)
