To convert the hexacode to color we can create a category of UIColor and implement the following code -
it will return the code corresponding to that hexacode
Hexa code can be in following format
1- #RGB
2 -#ARGB
3- #RRGGBB
4- #AARRGGBB
How to Create the category of an exiting class
1- Open your Xcode
2- Go to File menu -> file -> Add new file
3- Select objective-C file
4- You will se three option (File, File type, Class)
5- File - Enter your file name
6- File type (select category)
7- Class (UIColor)
+ (UIColor *) colorWithHexString: (NSString *) hexString {
NSString *colorString = [[hexString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: @"#" withString: @""] uppercaseString];
CGFloat alpha, red, blue, green;
switch ([colorString length]) {
case 3: //#RGB
alpha = 1.0f;
red = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 0 length: 1];
green = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 1 length: 1];
blue = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 2 length: 1];
break;
case 4: //#ARGB
alpha = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 0 length: 1];
red = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 1 length: 1];
green = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 2 length: 1];
blue = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 3 length: 1];
break;
case 6: //#RRGGBB
alpha = 1.0f;
red = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 0 length: 2];
green = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 2 length: 2];
blue = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 4 length: 2];
break;
case 8: //#AARRGGBB
alpha = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 0 length: 2];
red = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 2 length: 2];
green = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 4 length: 2];
blue = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 6 length: 2];
break;
default:
[NSException raise:@"Invalid color value" format: @"Color value %@ is invalid. It should be a hex value of the form #RBG, #ARGB, #RRGGBB, or #AARRGGBB", hexString];
break;
}
return [UIColor colorWithRed: red green: green blue: blue alpha: alpha];
}
+ (CGFloat) colorComponentFrom: (NSString *) string start: (NSUInteger) start length: (NSUInteger) length {
NSString *substring = [string substringWithRange: NSMakeRange(start, length)];
NSString *fullHex = length == 2 ? substring : [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@%@", substring, substring];
unsigned hexComponent;
[[NSScanner scannerWithString: fullHex] scanHexInt: &hexComponent];
return hexComponent / 255.0;
