Answer 1

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;
}
