Hi,

I have a layout with an ImageView defined like:

<ImageView
  android:layout_width="45dip"
  android:layout_height="45dip"
  android:scaleType="fitXY" />

now I just want to set the imageview to be a static color, like red or green. I'm trying:

ColorDrawable cd = new ColorDrawable("FF0000");
cd.setAlpha(255);
ImageView iv = ...;
iv.setImageDrawable(cd);

the imageview is just empty though, no color. The 45dip space is being used up though. What do I need to do to get the color to be rendered?

Thanks
