How to get accent color programmatically?

You can fetch it from the current theme in this way:

private int fetchAccentColor() {
    TypedValue typedValue = new TypedValue();

    TypedArray a = mContext.obtainStyledAttributes(typedValue.data, new int[] { R.attr.colorAccent });
    int color = a.getColor(0, 0);

    a.recycle();

    return color;
}

This also worked for me:

public static int getThemeAccentColor (final Context context) {
    final TypedValue value = new TypedValue ();
    context.getTheme ().resolveAttribute (R.attr.colorAccent, value, true);
    return value.data;
}

private static int getThemeAccentColor(Context context) {
    int colorAttr;
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        colorAttr = android.R.attr.colorAccent;
    } else {
        //Get colorAccent defined for AppCompat
        colorAttr = context.getResources().getIdentifier("colorAccent", "attr", context.getPackageName());
    }
    TypedValue outValue = new TypedValue();
    context.getTheme().resolveAttribute(colorAttr, outValue, true);
    return outValue.data;
}
