I´m trying to outsource my custom view into an own library.

Is it possible to get the colorPrimary, colorPrimaryDark and colorAccent attributes outside the scope, maybe at runtime?

Solution
I´ve pointed it out myself.

In xml use:

?attr/attributeName

f.e.

?attr/colorAccent

In code use sth like:

public int getColorValueByAttr(Context context, int attrResId) {
    int color = 0;

    TypedArray a = null;
    try {
        int[] attrs = {attrResId};
        a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs);
        color = a.getColor(0, 0);
    } finally {
        if (a != null) {
            a.recycle();
        }
    }

    return color;
}

Yes, by accessing the theme colors – David Medenjak Mar 05 '16 at 19:03
@DavidMedenjak can you give me an example on how to access f.e. colorAccent in code and xml? – monty.py Mar 07 '16 at 18:23
Use e.g. `context.obtainStyledAttributes`, there are lots of questions on this, e.g. here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4493947/how-to-define-theme-style-item-for-custom-widget – David Medenjak Mar 08 '16 at 09:38
