How to reference colour attribute in drawable? [duplicate]
Solution 1:
You might need to do the following to fix your problem:
1) Define 2 colors for each theme in your colors file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<color name="my_color_dark">#ff33B5E5</color>
<color name="my_color_light">#ff355689</color>
</resources>
2) Create file res/values/attrs.xml with contents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<attr name="my_color" format="reference" />
</resources>
3) Assuming you have 2 themes in your styles.xml (Theme.dark
and Theme.light
) define:
<style name="Theme.dark" parent="@style/Theme.Sherlock">
<item name="my_color">@color/my_color_dark</item>
</style>
<style name="Theme.light" parent="@style/Theme.Sherlock.Light">
<item name="my_color">@color/my_color_light</item>
</style>
4) Use the color in a drawable:
<color android:color="?attr/my_color"/>
Hope this should fix your problem.

Just create a new color.xml file in /res/values/color.xml
and put code like the following in it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<color name="editcolor">#ff99ffff</color>
<color name="transparent">#00000000</color>
</resources>
