How to obtain styled attributes anywhere outside custom view?

Question

Custom attributes are great, but all tutorials mention usage in custom views where you have AttributeSet parameter ready.

Contents of my attrs.xml:

<declare-styleable name="StyledDialogs">
   <attr name="sdlDialogStyle" format="reference" />
</declare-styleable>

<declare-styleable name="DialogStyle">
   ...
</declare-styleable>

I'm struggling how to access those attributes in any class outside custom view.

Answer 1

After a few hours, I have figured out a way which works:

final TypedArray a = mContext.getTheme().obtainStyledAttributes(null, R.styleable.DialogStyle, R.attr.sdlDialogStyle, 0);
