android-styles

I can't find any information about the differences between: android:textColor="?attr/colorPrimary" vs android:textColor="?colorPrimary" I have read that "?attr" means attribute value specified in the current theme, but without "attr" it gives the same result (=color defined in my theme). It behaves similar with other attributes? For example: Does android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackground" equals android:background="?selectableItemBackground" ? Here it's told that it differs. Thanks very much. Ok, I have finally found in the docs: Because the system resource tool knows that an

I just updated build.gradle(Module: app) dependecies, and after that had rendering problems on Android Studio. What is wrong, before updating dependencies everythink worked correctly Here is how it is now: dependencies { compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs') compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.0' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0' compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.0' compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.0' } my_activity.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <android.support.design

I'm creating an activity that looks like a dialog. Here is the style: <style name="TablesDialogActivity" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Dialog"> <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/frame_background_left</item> </style> Here is the activity onCreate(): protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { getWindow().setFlags(LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL, LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL); getWindow().setFlags(LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH, LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH); super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); } And also inside the activity touch interceptor:

I observe new behaviour in Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The touching area of scrollbar is widther than the scrollbar. It is visible on following screenshot. Scrollbar has 20 dp (green area) and touching area is probably 48 dp (blue and green area). I would like to have the touch area above the scrollbar only: I use following: <resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <style name="MyTheme.Dark" parent="android:Theme.Black"> <item name="android:fastScrollStyle">@style/Widget.FastScroll</item> <item name="android:scrollbarThumbVertical">@drawable/dark_scrollbar_thumb<

I have a spinner in a Holo theme dialog and am trying to change the text colour because it is very hard to read: I have looked at android styles.xml, as well as many other answers, and believe that I am setting the custom style correctly; but it's just not getting picked up. This is an extract from the dialog layout file where the spinner lives: <Spinner android:id="@+id/spn_Type" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1" android:entries="@array/dose_type_options" style="@style/DialogSpinner" /> And these are the relevant entries in

I have a SearchView widget in my app, and I want to ask some questions about making it custom. First of all, you can start search only by clicking on search icon, is there any way to make whole SearchView clickable? Also, is there a way to make SearchView appear something like this when it is clicked? It is now in this state: Here is my code: citySearch = (SearchView) findViewById(R.id.city_search_bar); citySearch.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.search_background); citySearch.setOnSearchClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View arg0) { citySearch
