Yes... I was not feeling very comfortable with having to index the
items in the array either. For some reason I did not make the
connection that R.styleable actually is the array of integers I need.
Just to make sure I did it correct this time:
In attrs.xml I have:
<declare-styleable name="PrimaryItemColors">
<attr name="PrimaryColor" format="color" />
<attr name="PrimaryReadColor" format="color" />
</declare-styleable>
The code to read them is:
TypedArray atts = context.obtainStyledAttributes
(R.styleable.PrimaryItemColors);
_PrimaryColor = atts.getColorStateList
(R.styleable.PrimaryItemColors_PrimaryColor);
_PrimaryReadColor = atts.getColorStateList
(R.styleable.PrimaryItemColors_PrimaryReadColor);
atts.recycle();
Thank you again for your help.
