Get color value programmatically when it's a reference (theme)

This should do the job:

TypedValue typedValue = new TypedValue();
Theme theme = context.getTheme();
theme.resolveAttribute(R.attr.theme_color, typedValue, true);
@ColorInt int color = typedValue.data;

Also make sure to apply the theme to your Activity before calling this code. Either use:

android:theme="@style/Theme.BlueTheme"

in your manifest or call (before you call setContentView(int)):

setTheme(R.style.Theme_BlueTheme)

in onCreate().

I've tested it with your values and it worked perfectly.

To add to the accepted answer, if you're using kotlin.

@ColorInt
fun Context.getColorFromAttr(
    @AttrRes attrColor: Int,
    typedValue: TypedValue = TypedValue(),
    resolveRefs: Boolean = true
): Int {
    theme.resolveAttribute(attrColor, typedValue, resolveRefs)
    return typedValue.data
}

and then in your activity you can do

textView.setTextColor(getColorFromAttr(R.attr.color))

This worked for me:

int[] attrs = {R.attr.my_attribute};
TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs);
int color = ta.getResourceId(0, android.R.color.black);
ta.recycle();

if you want to get the hexstring out of it:

Integer.toHexString(color)
