That was exactly what I needed. Thank you very much for your help.
In case somebody has a similar need this is the code that worked for
me:
R.attr.PrimaryColor, R.attr.PrimaryReadColor are the styled attributes
(of type Color State List in my case) that have a specific "value" in
each theme
TypedArray atts = context.obtainStyledAttributes(new int[]
{ R.attr.PrimaryColor, R.attr.PrimaryReadColor});
....
_primaryColor = atts.getColorStateList(0);
_primaryReadColor = atts.getColorStateList(1);
