[android-developers] Re: How to read resource based on the current theme
Yes... I was not feeling very comfortable with having to index the
items in the array either. For some reason I did not make the
connection that R.styleable actually is the array of integers I need.
Just to make sure I did it correct this time:
In attrs.xml I have:
declare-styleable name=PrimaryItemColors
attr name=PrimaryColor format=color /
attr name=PrimaryReadColor format=color /
/declare-styleable
The code to read them is:
TypedArray atts = context.obtainStyledAttributes
(R.styleable.PrimaryItemColors);
_PrimaryColor = atts.getColorStateList
(R.styleable.PrimaryItemColors_PrimaryColor);
_PrimaryReadColor = atts.getColorStateList
(R.styleable.PrimaryItemColors_PrimaryReadColor);
atts.recycle();
Thank you again for your help.

Note: you really really should not be creating these arrays yourself,
because the attributes need to be in a specific order for them to work. Use
declare-styleable in one of your resource files (usually in attrs.xml
where you declare your attributes) to define the sets of resources you want
to retrieve.

I gave the color special attribute name in my \attr xml file and
assigned it different values in 2 different themes.
if I do getResources().getColorStateList( my attribute resource ID)
it fails because it can't find the resource. It seems like something
needs to first resolve the attribute Id to the Id of the resource in
the current theme, but I am not sure what does that.
