Thanks Kostya, it looks like Widget.TextView.PopupMenu leads to textColorPrimaryDisableOnly. If I try to read the value of this using the code:
TypedValue value = new TypedValue(); > > getTheme().resolveAttribute(android.R.attr.textColorPrimaryDisableOnly, >> value, true); > > >> int menuTextColor = getResources().getColor(value.resourceId); > > I get the same value if I try a Samsung phone or an HTC phone (which have white and black option menu backgrounds). I think the menu_background_fill_parent_width leads to a 9-patch png and I'm not sure which pixel to pull out of it and how to do that in order to read its color.
