Color mixing in android


I am working on application in which i have five colors:Red,Green,Blue,Yellow,purple

I want to implement color mixing from those colors:such that like there are five button for each color.

User touch whichever color button this color mix with previously drawn color.

I have not any clue how to add two color codes and get third color.

EDitED:

I have to also set this color to imageview's bitmap

how can i set this?


Solution

  • An alternative answer:

    You can mix the bits in the hexs:

    public static int mixTwoColors( int color1, int color2, float amount )
    {
        final byte ALPHA_CHANNEL = 24;
        final byte RED_CHANNEL   = 16;
        final byte GREEN_CHANNEL =  8;
        final byte BLUE_CHANNEL  =  0;
    
        final float inverseAmount = 1.0f - amount;
    
        int a = ((int)(((float)(color1 >> ALPHA_CHANNEL & 0xff )*amount) +
                       ((float)(color2 >> ALPHA_CHANNEL & 0xff )*inverseAmount))) & 0xff;
        int r = ((int)(((float)(color1 >> RED_CHANNEL & 0xff )*amount) +
                       ((float)(color2 >> RED_CHANNEL & 0xff )*inverseAmount))) & 0xff;
        int g = ((int)(((float)(color1 >> GREEN_CHANNEL & 0xff )*amount) +
                       ((float)(color2 >> GREEN_CHANNEL & 0xff )*inverseAmount))) & 0xff;
        int b = ((int)(((float)(color1 & 0xff )*amount) +
                       ((float)(color2 & 0xff )*inverseAmount))) & 0xff;
    
        return a << ALPHA_CHANNEL | r << RED_CHANNEL | g << GREEN_CHANNEL | b << BLUE_CHANNEL;
    }
