I am trying to do debug screen which shows various stages of the validation process in an openCV project, these refer to detected blobs.
(Cutting to the chase) array.xml reference
<item>"@color/debug_IsCircular"</item>
or
<item>@color/debug_IsCircular</item>
Crashed the app
BACKGROUND
Debug Verbosity:
debug_TooBigTooSmall > Show All
debug_WrongRatio > Show Most
debug_NotSquare > Show Some
debug_NotCircular > Show Minimal
debug_IsCircular > Show Only Sucessful
I represent the above in colors so as to have a visual (on the display) as to what is going on
To declutter the debug I want to have a Verbosity setting in
preferences.xml
<ListPreference
android:dependency="@string/settings_displayKey"
android:dialogTitle="@string/settings_debugVerbosityTitle"
android:title="@string/settings_debugVerbosityTitle"
android:summary="@string/settings_debugVerbositySummary"
android:key="@string/settings_debugVerbosityKey"
android:defaultValue="0"
android:entries="@array/debugVerbosity"
android:entryValues="@array/debugVerbosityValue"
/>
array.xml
<string-array name="debugVerbosity">
<item>All</item>
<item>Most</item>
<item>Some</item>
<item>Minimal</item>
</string-array>
<string-array name="debugVerbosityValue">
<item>"@color/debug_IsCircular"</item>
<item>2</item>
<item>1</item>
<item>0</item>
</string-array>
This line should work but FC the app
<item>"@color/debug_IsCircular"</item>
I have also tried
<item>@color/debug_IsCircular</item>
Also FC

This can be hardcoded but I want to use references cos they should work. What am I missing?
