how to get Theme attributes values

Question

Is it possible to obtain styled attributes values from particular Theme without setting the theme up to application/activity? (I mean before invoking context.setTheme(..))

Answer 1

For example, to get editTextColor attribute's value of a theme called MyTheme:

TypedArray a = getTheme().obtainStyledAttributes(         R.style.MyTheme,         new int[] { R.attr.editTextColor });  // Get color hex code (eg, #fff) int intColor = a.getColor(0 /* index */, 0 /* defaultVal */); String hexColor = Integer.toHexString(intColor);  // Don't forget to recycle a.recycle(); 

Answer 2

JavaDoc:

method TypedArray android.content.res.Resources.Theme.obtainStyledAttributes(int[] attrs)

Return a TypedArray holding the values defined by Theme which are listed in attrs.

Be sure to call TypedArray.recycle() when you are done with the array.
