How to get a value of color attribute programmatically

Question

When I use resolveAttribute() to find out a color value of ?attr/colorControlNormal, I got 236:

TypedValue typedValue = ne         


        

Answer 1

It's correct I think, check with it

HEX

Integer intColor = -1979711488138;
String hexColor = "#" + Integer.toHexString(intColor).substring(2);

or

int color = getCurrentTextColor();
int a = Color.alpha(color);
int r = Color.red(color);
int g = Color.green(color);
int b = Color.blue(color);

Answer 2

This works for me:

TypedValue typedValue = new TypedValue();
getTheme().resolveAttribute(R.attr.colorControlNormal, typedValue, true);
int color = ContextCompat.getColor(this, typedValue.data)

typedValue.data instead of typedValue.resourceId

Answer 3

I believe instead of this:

    TypedValue typedValue = new TypedValue();
    getTheme().resolveAttribute(R.attr.colorControlNormal, typedValue, true);
    int color = typedValue.data;

You should do this:

    TypedValue typedValue = new TypedValue();
    getTheme().resolveAttribute(R.attr.colorControlNormal, typedValue, true);
    int color = ContextCompat.getColor(this, typedValue.resourceId)
