Convert hex color value ( #ffffff ) to integer value

I am receiving hex color values from a server (in this form, #xxxxxx , example #000000 for black)

How do I convert this to an integer value?

I tried doing Integer.valueOf("0x" + passedColor.substring(1, passedColor.length())) to get an even more hextastic 0x000000 result, but this isn't intepreted as an int here, any other suggestions?

I receive an error: 08-03 21:06:24.673: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(20231): java.lang.NumberFormatException: unable to parse '0x00C8FBFE' as integer

I am using the Android SDK for their setBackgroundColor(int color) function, which takes - as you might have guessed - an integer color value.

This is the OPPOSITE of this question: How to convert a color integer to a hex String in Android?

Based on CQM's answer and on ovokerie-ogbeta's answer to another question I've come up with this solution: 

if (colorAsString.length() == 4) { // #XXX
    colorAsString = colorAsString.replaceAll("#([0-9a-fA-F])([0-9a-fA-F])([0-9a-fA-F])", "#$1$1$2$2$3$3");
}

int color = Color.parseColor(colorAsString);

if you can pass the values as static const, you can convert the hex value to an Android (android.graphics.Color) using this online converter and put the color reference in the const, ie: color converter give me this value for this color #EE5670 = 0xFFEE5670.

static const Color redColor = const Color(0xFFEE5670);

Get Shared Preferences Color Code in String then Convert to integer and add layout-background color:

    sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(mypref, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    String sw=sharedPreferences.getString(name, "");
    relativeLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor(sw));
