I have defined the below files in res folder. styles_apptheme.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- Generated with http://android-holo-colors.com --> <resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <style name="ButtonAppTheme" parent="android:Widget.Holo.Light.Button"> <item name="android:background">@drawable/apptheme_btn_default_holo_light</item> </style> </resources> themes_apptheme.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- Generated with http://android-holo-colors.com --> <resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <style

There are lots of docs and tutorials on creating or customising an Android theme style via XML, but have not been able to find a way to create it in code. Any ideas on how to create the style in code rather than xml? This is the example XML, need to create this programmatically in code: <resources> <style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material"> <item name="android:colorPrimary">@color/primary</item> <item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark</item> <item name="android:colorAccent">@color/accent</item> </style> </resources> short answer: Its not possible as

I have activities with custom style, I want my activity with a custom title bar so I created below style: <style name="costum_titlebar"> <item name="android:background">@color/titlebar_background</item> </style> <style name="CustomTheme" parent="android:Theme"> <item name="android:windowTitleSize">@dimen/titlebar_size</item> <item name="android:windowTitleBackgroundStyle">@style/costum_titlebar</item> </style> In manifest I use: <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/CustomTheme" > In the activity I

The checkbox border is invisible on white background. I played with different color parameters without success. I need black border of box. Yes, there examples to make custom checkbox.

What is the difference between android:windowBackground and android:colorBackground ? Example: <style name = "theme"> <item name ="android:windowBackground">@color/black</item> <item name ="android:colorBackground">@color/black</item> </style> Which one would affect the color you see when a new activity is loading? windowBackground only affects the main window's background. colorBackground affects not only the background of the main window but also of all components e.g. dialogs unless you override it in the component layout. So both of them change the activity's background, but the

I have been trying to make my Alert Dialog with rounded corners but somehow I am not able to. I have tried and I failed. I tried to follow this blog http://blog.stylingandroid.com/archives/271 and made my styles based on that. Btw, to add to my question now. Some of my new finding. The code in the above link just works fine on 2.3.3 (GB) but does not work at all in ICS . Some change made the code to break. I want to avoid creating 9 patch images and thus I am using shapes. 9 patch image is the last thing that I will try.I know that android alert dialog style is using 9 patch image. I already
