I have a shape (rect_shape.xml) which draws a stroke outline in every item of a listview (listview_style.xml). This outline should have the same color like the default text color of the current theme.
Is there any way, in XML, to set the android:color value of the stroke to the current text color?
I've seen some similar questions (like How to get my own defined attribute value in my style ) around here which try to set an own attribute, but I don't think that this is what I want.
Anyhow I tried that but I couldn't set the android:color value to my own defined attribute ( android:color="?custom_stroke_color" throws InflateException).
Because the user is able to switch between the Themes dynamically, one single predefined color (or reference to a color resource e.g. @color/white ) in rect_shape.xml is not an option.
Appreciate any help...
rect_shape.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<stroke android:width="3dp"
<!-- should be the current default text color -->
android:color="#FFF" />
<solid/>
...
</shape>
listview_style.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/rect_shape" >
...
</LinearLayout>
themes.xml
<resources>
<style name="DarkTheme" parent="@style/Theme.Sherlock">
<!-- default text color is white -->
...
</style>
<style name="LightTheme" parent="@style/Theme.Sherlock.Light">
<!-- default text color is black-->
...
</style>
</resources>
