some revelant code from styles.xml:

<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
        <item name="android:windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
        <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBar</item>
        <item name="ColSfondo">#00000000</item>
        <item name="ColSfondoVociListe">@drawable/SfondoVociListe</item>
        <item name="ColSfondoVoceInfotraffico">#00000000</item>
        <item name="ColTestoFields">#ff000000</item>
        <item name="ColTestoVociListe">@drawable/ColoreTestoVoci</item>
    </style>

    <style name="AppThemeDark" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
        <item name="android:windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
        <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBar</item>
        <item name="ColSfondo">@drawable/holo_background_gradient</item>
        <item name="ColSfondoVociListe">#00000000</item>
        <item name="ColSfondoVoceInfotraffico">@drawable/holo_background_gradient</item>
        <item name="ColTestoFields">#ffffffff</item>
        <item name="ColTestoVociListe">@drawable/ColoreTestoVoci</item>
    </style>

    <attr name="ColSfondo" format="color|reference" />
    <attr name="ColSfondoVociListe" format="color|reference" />
    <attr name="ColSfondoVoceInfotraffico" format="color|reference" />
    <attr name="ColTestoFields" format="color|reference" />
    <attr name="ColTestoVociListe" format="color|reference" />

    <drawable name="ColoreTestoVoci">#ffffffff</drawable>
    <drawable name="SfondoVociListe">#dd212121</drawable>
    <color name="ColoreSecondarioVoci">#ffdddddd</color>

 [...]

</resources>

and here is the xlm layout that causes the issue:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="?attr/ColSfondoVociListe" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/ListaLineeImage"
        android:layout_width="36dp"
        android:layout_height="36dp"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_lista" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/ListaLineeTitolo"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/ListaLineeImage"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:text="Medium Text"
        android:textColor="?ColTestoVociListe"
        android:textSize="@dimen/Titolo" />

</RelativeLayout>

if i remove "?ColTestoVociListe" and "?attr/ColSfondoVociListe", replacing them with a color like #aarrggbb it works. But I need to use attributes, to change the color along with Theme. In other xml files, like the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="?attr/ColSfondoVociListe" >

  [.....]

</RelativeLayout>

NO ERROR IS THROWN!!!! why???? the same attribute, spellt exactly the same way.. I have tried many and many times to delete and recreate R.java and to clean the project. Please help me.

Have you tried run this app on different phones, with different android versions ? — Mike, Feb 20 '13 at 19:16
No, only on my HTC One X. But why? It must work on every phone — lorenzop, Feb 21 '13 at 09:30
Do you know at least if my syntax is correct, theorically speaking? — lorenzop, Feb 21 '13 at 09:31
And what version of android do you have on HTC One X. Cause I had similar problem, but it was related with some android version modified by phone operator. — Mike, Feb 21 '13 at 13:42
I have JellyBean (android 4.1) with a custom rooted rom by team Venom. — lorenzop, Feb 21 '13 at 14:04

There is a same question here

In order to make your theme you need to:

Create one xml drawable per theme. Include the needed color into you drawable directly with the @color tag or #RGB format.

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#123456" />
</shape>

Make an attibute for your drawable in attrs.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
   <!-- attributes mut be low case as we want to use them for drawables -->
   <attr name="my_drawable" format="reference" />
</resources>

Add your drawable to your theme.xml.

<style name="MyTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
   <item name="my_drawable">@drawable/my_drawable</item>
</style>

Reference your drawable in your layout using your attribute.

<TextView android:background="?my_drawable" />

I checked the answer. It's not aswering my question and it doesn't work. — lorenzop, Sep 25 '14 at 12:54
