Use this:-

    @SimpleFunction(description = "")
    public void bgset(AndroidViewComponent component, List<Integer> colors){
    String listString = colors.toString();
    View view = component.getView();
    final String[] array = listString.split(" ");
            final int[] ints = new int[array.length];
            for (int i = 0; i < array.length; ++i) {
                try {
                    ints[i] = Integer.parseInt(array[i]);
                }
                catch (NumberFormatException ex) {}
            }
view.setBackgroundColor(ints);
    }

setBackgroundColor accepts int but you are giving int array here.

You can achieve:

By adding this import:
import gnu.math.IntNum;

And using this code:
@SimpleFunction(description = "")
public void bgset(AndroidViewComponent component,YailList colors) {
View view = component.getView();
Object[] array = colors.toArray();
for(Object x : array) {
IntNum colorX = (IntNum)x;
view.setBackgroundColor(colorX.intValue())
}
}

@Ken does that method adds color to the old background color?
Because if it accepts only one value then background color should be the last value of list.

Ya that's what I need because i have used this as a doubt part of my another extension this I not major extension

As you suspected, it doesn't add to the background color, it replaces the color.
The end result of this particular method isn't important, it was only to show how you could iterate through a list of colors.
