android-theme

Well as the title says, i'm using the actionBarSherlock library and a light theme, and sometimes I need to show a dialog using the alertDialog.Builder class. Thing is, no matter what I try, the theme doesn't apply to the dialog itself. The theme should work on both new APIs and old ones (prior to honeycomb). example: code: final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(new ContextThemeWrapper(activity, R.style.AppTheme_LightDialog)); or: final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(new ContextThemeWrapper(activity, R.style.Theme_Sherlock_Light_Dialog)); xml: <style

I and using ABS together with theme holo in my application and i get EditText styled as if in ICS. But the line color of the EditText is blue by default and for my design, i need white colored line for the EditText. I tried changing the background, but it is not working.

(Can't post pictures, not enough reputation >.>) I've followed this question's recommendations here , which has helped quite a bit. I've achieved drawing my Nav Drawer under the status bar when I pull it out. Only trouble is, I can't figure out how to

in my project I was using appcompat-v7 (revision 20), and my project was targeting android API level 19 (KitKat), so I could use Holo theme. I accidentally updated "Android Support Library" to revision 21, so I had to change the target in manifest to API level 21 (Lollipop). Because of this, my app's default theme changed to Material (e.g. checkboxes are green). Is there a way to force using Holo theme again? Manifest.xml: <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="my.package" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" > <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion

I am using the AppCompat theme and I want set the minHeight attribute on my buttons: <style name="Theme.MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat"> <item name="android:buttonStyle">@style/MyButtonStyle</item> </style> <style name="MyButtonStyle" parent="...?"> <item name="android:minHeight">60dp</item> </style> However, there is no Widget.AppCompat.Button style to set as the parent for MyButtonStyle . If I use android:Widget.Button , then all my buttons look like the old crappy style. I tried various other AppCompat themes like TextAppearance.AppCompat.Button , but they do not work. Leaving out a

I am trying to change the theme of my app completely, This is what I modified & tried : styles.xml in values folder is <resources> <!-- Base application theme, dependent on API level. This theme is replaced by AppBaseTheme from res/values-vXX/styles.xml on newer devices. --> <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo"> <!-- Theme customizations available in newer API levels can go in res/values-vXX/styles.xml, while customizations related to backward-compatibility can go here. --> </style> <!-- Application theme. --> <style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme"> <!-- All
