android-theme

I'm trying to make my ICS (API level 15) app compatible with Gingerbread (API level 10), and I'm getting InflateException Error inflating class <Unknown> for any layout XML that has an ?android:attr/ attribute. If I comment out these attributes I can compile and run the app, but then it, of course, looks aweful. I'd rather not duplicate all of the items from android.R.attr that I'm using, but at the moment I'm lost as to another way to do it. I'm using ActionBarSherlock to get the ActionBar working, and I don't seem to be using anything else that requires the support library (although I've

Background I'm developing a themes chooser feature in my "app manager" app , and I've succeeded setting the theme dynamically for each of the activities. AGAIN : this is not about setting the theme for the activities. This actually works fine for me. The problem The acitivties are showing the correct theme, but the application itself, when launching the app, is showing the wrong one, no matter what I do.

Is there a way to use a different theme depending on which SDK version the application is installed on? The reason I ask is because I want to support all the way back to SDK version 8, but for those users that have ICS I want to be able to follow the design standards for ICS and use the Holo theme. I can see from Program different layouts for different versions in android that I can have a folder values-v14 which will have a theme.xml to override the theme declaration. However, it won't compile if I reference Theme.Holo. I believe this is because I have the following in my AndroidManifest.xml

Is there a way to create a Dropdown Spinner for Android 2.3.3? I am using ActionbarSherlock. Here is an Example of what I mean: Thanks As it stands, you're in luck. It can be done with ActionBarSherlock and it works with versions pre-4.0 . However, I'm not 100% sure Jake Wharton will want us to use it like this, since it's not exactly "public api", AFAIK (I've meant to ask). Anyway, you have to first create your own class to extend from the ActionBarSherlock class: public class MyIcsSpinner extends IcsSpinner { public MyIcsSpinner(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context, attrs,

i am trying to modify the underline color of a EditText by applying a theme. Style: <style name="MyTheme.EditText" parent="Widget.AppCompat.EditText"> <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/green</item> </style> EditText: <EditText android:id="@+id/editText_amount" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:hint="@string/hint_enter_amount" android:theme="@style/MyTheme.EditText"/> Basically it works, but when i try to select or move the cursor the selection handle is also underlined. You can see this in the screenshot. Does someone know how to fix this?

I am using the new Theme.AppCompat.DayNight added in Android Support Library 23.2 On Android 5.1 it works well. On Android 6.0, activity looks like using light theme, but dialog looks using dark theme. My Application class: public class MyApplication extends Application { static { AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode( AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES); } } My styles.xml <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight"> <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item> <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item> <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item> <
