How to get current Button text color in Android?

Question

I cant figure out how to get the current color of the text of a Button. I know its probably this but cant quite figure out the parameters.

public static int getTextColor (Context context, TypedArray attrs, int def)...

Basically Im trying to do this

if(text is RED) {make text BLACK} else {make text RED}

I know how to set the text color.

try this

ColorStateList mList = mButton.getTextColors(); int color = mList.getDefaultColor(); switch(color) { case Color.RED: mButton.setTextColor(Color.BLACK); break; case Color.BLACK: mButton.setTextColor(Color.RED); break; }

mButton.getTextColors().getDefaultColor() gives me -1

-1 refers to Color.WHITE ... mList.getDefaultColor() returns a constant value for a Color.

Why they have getCurrentTextColor() and getDefaultColor() both? Apparently they both does the same!
