I've confirmed that when you declare a ColorDrawable in the colors.xml file, then get it via:
ColorDrawable cd = (ColorDrawable) getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.red_drawable); that it does indeed work. This shows that the real Bug is in the documentation here: http://developer.android.com/intl/de/guide/topics/resources/available-resources.html#colordrawableresources where it states that what is returned is a PaintDrawable, which would have allowed setting of bounds. Also, a ways down in that same section, there is a Java example of how to use it: // Assign a PaintDrawable as the background to // a TextView on the current screen. Drawable redDrawable = Resources.getDrawable(R.drawable.solid_red); TextView tv = (TextView)findViewByID(R.id.text); tv.setBackground(redDrawable); This example is wrong. There is no setBackground() function that takes a Drawable. There is setBackgroundDrawable(). I think the example should be updated also, since the developer's guide is so important and resources are so central to the platform.
