Access resource defined in theme and attrs.xml android

Question

I have a scenario in which I want to set a Drawable depending upon the theme defined.

To explain this further, Here is what I have in code:

Answer 1

Another possible way to do it:

  public static int getResIdFromAttribute(final Activity activity,final int attr)
    {
    if(attr==0)
      return 0;
    final TypedValue typedvalueattr=new TypedValue();
    activity.getTheme().resolveAttribute(attr,typedvalueattr,true);
    return typedvalueattr.resourceId;
    }

Or in Kotlin:

@JvmStatic
fun getResIdFromAttribute(activity: Activity, attr: Int): Int {
    if (attr == 0)
        return 0
    val typedValue = TypedValue()
    activity.theme.resolveAttribute(attr, typedValue, true)
    return typedValue.resourceId
}

no need to recycle anything here...

usage:

int drawableResId=getResIdFromAttribute(this,R.attr.homeIcon);
Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(drawableResId);
