Applying a theme to v7 Support Action Bar

问题

I am using the support v7 library to implement ActionBar in my app..I have this in my styles.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBarTheme</item>
    </style>
    <style name="ActionBarTheme" parent="android:Widget.ActionBar">
        <item name="android:background">#FFFF0000</item>
    </style>
</resources>

However, Eclipse complains in the actionBarStyle line. The error is this one:

android:actionBarStyle requires API level 11 (current min is 8)

What can I do to apply my theme to API levels 8-10?

回答1:

You need to provide two API specific styles.xml. In your values/styles.xml use

<style name="AppTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBarTheme</item>
</style>

and in your values-v14/styles.xml use

<style name="AppTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBarTheme</item>
</style>

If you use latest v7 support library (v21 at the time of this post), there is no need to add android: prefix to any action bar attributes anymore.

In your case, adding the following to values/styles.xml will be sufficient:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBarTheme</item>
</style>
