android-styles

I'm adding some Lollipop-only styling to an app. I want to change color of header in overview screeen like Gmail here: I have figured out I can do <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"> <item name="android:colorPrimary">@color/my_favorite_color</item> </style> to achieve it, but I would want to specify only the color for this case, just like I can do: <item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/my_favorite_color<item> Is there a specific attribute to set header's color? Side question: can icon and title be also changed? You can change this via ActivityManager

Where does the green color comes from? I've tried changing the accentColor attribute, which works in other parts of the app, but not here. Screenshot from app in Lollipop. How can I change the colors of: the text handle drawables? how to tint them? the select-all-background color? And maybe some tips for the future... How did you find out?

And the theme I am using Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar does exactly what it says in that note, it replaces AlertDialog Buttons to

How do you underline a text in an XML file? I can't find an option in textStyle . George Artemiou If you are using a string resource xml file (supports HTML tags), it can be done using <b> </b> , <i> </i> and <u> </u> . <resources> <string name="your_string_here"> This is an <u>underline</u>. </string> </resources> If you want to underline something from code use: TextView tv = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tv); SpannableString content = new SpannableString("Content"); content.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), 0, content.length(), 0); tv.setText(content); Hope this helps abh22ishek Use this:

I've breaking my head over this quite a bit. What I need to do is, change the style of all AlertDialog s in my android application - dialog background needs to be white-ish, and text needs to be black-ish. I tried creating a lot of styles, themes, and applying from the code, manifest, etc, but no success, with regard to the text colors inside the AlertDialog . Right now, I have the simplest of codes, set like this: Manifest: <application android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" > styles.xml: <style name="AppTheme" parent=

I want to set the back ground to the transparent , so I have set the following code in styles.xml <style name="dialog" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"> <item name="android:windowFrame">@null</item> <item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item> <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item> <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@android:style/Animation.Dialog</item> <item name="android:windowSoftInputMode">stateUnspecified|adjustPan</item> <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item> <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item> </style> And I
