Kotlin - setBackground as a hex code programmatically?

Question

I currently have a DrawingView which looks like this:

 <com.example.drawingapp.DrawingView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:id="@+id/drawing_view" android:background="#80ffffff" />

Within my code, I am setting the background to nothing earlier on using:

drawing_view.setBackgroundResource(0)

What I want to be able to do is be able to revert the background back to '#80ffffff' through my code. I have the following which is wrong:

drawing_view.setBackgroundResource(ContextCompat.getColor(context, Color.parseColor("#80ffffff")))

Thanks!

You can use:

drawing_view.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#80ffffff"))
