How to set background color programmatically from an app color theme

I'm trying to set background color programmatically for a element, which should be same as 

<TableRow android:background="@color/colorPrimaryDark">

in xml file. For now on I'm stuck with

 row.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#00ffff"));

, but I dont know how to pass "@color/colorPrimaryDark" here correctly and can't find any relative information in Android documentation.

You can use this:

view.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);

Setting background colors programmatically is easy:

row.setBackgroundResource(R.color.colorPrimaryDark);
