Is there anyway to create new color in android with flutter project?

Question

I'm trying to create my splash screen with native android, i'm using flutter, and my android project is in kotlin, i'm trying to create new color to android, because i need specific hexa color, but i can't create my own color, when i try, the flutter say can't recognize the name of color.

Thats is some of attempts:

<resources>
    <style name="LaunchTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar">
        <!-- Show a splash screen on the activity. Automatically removed when
             Flutter draws its first frame -->
        <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/launch_background</item>

    </style>
        <color name="goiaba">#e1635a</color>

</resources>

The file is android -> app -> res -> values -> styles.xml

<!-- Modify this file to customize your launch splash screen -->
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@android:color/black" />

    <item android:drawable="@android:color/holo_blue_light">

    </item>
</layer-list>

The file is android -> app -> res -> drawable -> launch_background.xml

When the item drawable is color holo_blue_light its works fine because its android color already, but when i try put the color "goiaba" doesn't works...

Thats is the message of error: android/app/src/main/res/drawable/launch_background.xml:13: AAPT: error: resource android:color/goiaba not found.

Answer 1

I'm found how create new color in android with flutter project, i need create the colors.xml in PROJECT/android/app/src/main/res/values/ and i added using @color/COLOR_NAME

Answer 2

It's ok that not create the colors.xml file, the reason why you did not succeed for the first try is that you used @android:color/goiaba instead of @color/goiaba .
