Is there a way to change the background color of the tab bar in the ActionBar without changing it in the one line version? To clarify what I want: In portrait mode the ActionBar is split in two lines, the ActionBar itself and the tabs below. In landscape mode the tabs are in the actual ActionBar. I want to change the background color of the portrait mode. If I change the background in the TabView it'll be changed for both modes. Do I have to create separate styles for those? Which brings up a second question: is there a way to know when it'll be two lines and when not? Or am I just missing

This question already has an answer here: How can I avoid “IllegalStateException: Scrollview can host only one direct child”? 7 answers I'm simply trying to add the ability to scroll through this layout by adding a scrollview however every time I attempt to load the layout I'm getting an error stating "java.lang.IllegalStateException: ScrollView can host only one direct child" and I'm unsure why.

I did manage it to work on en emulated device, however I've done a few lucky guesses and'd like to know what exactly I've done :-) Here are the changes in thermometer's code I had to make to get it to work in conjunction with the temperature sensor simulator: After importing the sensorsimulator

I have the following shape XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <shape xmlns:a="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" a:shape="ring" a:innerRadiusRatio="3" a:thicknessRatio="8" a:useLevel="false"> <!-- some other stuff goes here --> </gradient> </shape> I would like to use code instead to create this shape, since some things need to be calculated on the fly before I do it, so static pre-defined layout doesn't cut it. I'm new to Android and can't quite figure out how XML translates to code, and there's no RingShape class inheriting from Shape. In addition to answering just this
