android-styles

When I create a new project with API14 as minimum, then there is no values-21 or values-22 folder in my project. I don't see any styles.XML anywhere, so how should I put in XML code for just Lollipop? I use Android Studio 1.0.1, and I have SDK 21, 21.1.1, 24.0.2 installed. Updated : Since API 22 has been released. API 23 is the same idea. Right click the RES folder Then type values-v22 as the directory name and choose xml as the resource type. If you do NOT see the values-v22 show up, click the Project pulldown at the top of the screen like so. e.g. Change from Android to Project Now right

I'm trying to style buttons to look like those I ask about in Android Full Width ICS style Minimalist Bottom ButtonsViews . I've succeeded, with the following xml for anyone interested: <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:divider="@android:drawable/divider_horizontal_dark" android:gravity="bottom" android:orientation="vertical" android:paddingTop="16dip" android:showDividers="beginning|end" > <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android

I'm struggling with styling the ActionBar. My app has an ActionBar with three tabs. I'm trying to get the selected tab to have a background color, and the unselected tabs to show a different color. I'm following this reference: Customizing Action Bar . But all the TABs are showing the Selected color. My styles.xml file is as follows: <style name="MyActionBarTabStyle" parent="android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.TabBar"> <item name="android:background">@drawable/tab_background</item> <item name="android:paddingLeft">32dp</item> <item name="android:paddingRight">32dp</item> </style> <style

I'm trying to change activity action bar's background color and title color, i tried official tutorial and some answers from here but none worked for me , i'm missing something. styles.xml <!-- Base application theme. --> <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"> <!-- Customize your theme here. --> <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item> <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item> <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item> </style> <style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar"> <item name="windowActionBar">false</item> <item name=

I'm using Drop-down Navigation with my Action bar, and I can't get a sensible color for the corresponding text when using a dark action bar. The action bar itself is a dark grey, and the text color is black, so it's very hard to read. I followed the basic instructions on the Action Bar developer's guide so my code is simply SpinnerAdapter mSpinnerAdapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.action_list, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); ActionBar.OnNavigationListener navigationListener = new OnNavigationListener() { @Override public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(int

So I have looked around and found out that android.R.styleable is no longer part of the SDK even though it is still documented here . That wouldn't really be an issue if it was clearly documented what the alternative is. For example the AOSP Calendar App is still using the android.R.styleable // Get the dim amount from the theme TypedArray a = obtainStyledAttributes(com.android.internal.R.styleable.Theme); lp.dimAmount = a.getFloat(android.R.styleable.Theme_backgroundDimAmount, 0.5f); a.recycle(); So how would one get the backgroundDimAmount without getting the int[] from android.R.styleable

I've been looking through the documentation for ProgressBar class and found these attributes: android:progressBarStyle android:progressBarStyleHorizontal android:progressBarStyleLarge android:progressBarStyleSmall These four parameters are supposed to be a reference to some style as I take it. So the question is, what are these for? Style for the progress bar is set via android:style attribute and a reference to the global style attributes. Documentation doesn't say anything helpful, searched the Web, found nothing. The four attributes that you mention can be applied to a ProgressBar 's style

I was trying to create a button similar in look to the round buttons over here - http://livetools.uiparade.com/index.html (every button looks like it is inside an immersed section) I had it by placing the button in a circle background and giving them both a little gradient that didnt end up the same though I got this result - (I will upload my code once I can) how can I achieve that same look? Try this code. I am able to produce an image that looks like this which is similar to the first button you link to, using the following code. The key is to use <layer-list> to layer shapes one over the

I recently migrated my app to Material Design and I stumbled upon this problem with my Alert Dialogs: I'm applying the dialog style like this: <item name="android:alertDialogTheme">@style/Theme.AlertDialog</item> and Theme.AlertDialog looks like this: <style name="Theme.AlertDialog" parent="Base.V14.Theme.AppCompat.Dialog"> <item name="colorPrimary">@color/theme_primary</item> <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/theme_primary_dark</item> <item name="colorAccent">@color/theme_accent_dark</item> </style> This is happening on my Kitkat device and it works fine on Lollipop. Can you help me with
