LottieBackgroundColor preference color parsing error in Android

[xavierserrai]

Bug report

LottieBackgroundColor preference color is not parsed properly in Android.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Set a color in LottieBackgroundColor preference.

Expected output

The color you set in LottieBackgroundColor should be the one that you see as a lottie background color when running the app, specially in the blank space left by the status bar on startup.

What do you see instead?

This is a two layer problem. First of all Apache Cordova xml parser, XmlPull (https://www.xmlpull.org/) parses hexadecimal tags in a weird way, removing leading zeroes or adding ff characters in front of hex numbers when they are in RRGGBB format. After that, src/android/ColorHelper.kt tries to fix that but fails in doing so.

My solution was to use regular Color.parse function which seems to solve the problem.
