Android :: Android Changing Colors With Themes
Jun 10, 2010
I am trying to provide user settable colors in my app. White text on black background and black text on white background. I have multiple layouts with many listviews, both standard and custom adapters. People have suggested using Themes, but I have had no luck changing the text colors across all layouts. Can anyone show me an actual Theme layout that can accomplish this? I can easily change the background colors using myscreen. setBackGroundColor(xx), but when I try to change the text with a theme, it also changes spinner text as well.

I want to use colors from a Theme to apply it to HTML my app is rendering. I am wondering if I can do that? I am looking to use colors like they are specified in themes.xml: <itemname = " color Fore ground">@android:color/bright_foreground_dark</item> name =" colorBack ground " >@android:color/background_dark</item> <item name ="textColorPrimary" >@android: color/primary_text_dark</item> I get this as a result: I/System.out( 1578): tv.string=null I/System.out( 1578): tv.coerced=#ffffffff I/System.out( 1578): colorResourceId=-1 I/System.out( 1578): tv.string=res/color/primary_text_light.xml I/System.out( 1578): tv.coerced=res /color/primary_text_light.xml I/System.out( 1578): colorResourceId=-16777216 The results are different. The first one actually gives me the color "#fffffff" which would work for me, the second one only gives me an xml. Do I need to jump through a few more hoops here to resolve the actual color? Does my original intention work at all? Maybe it won't work, because colors could be arbitrary drawables? I didn't find any relevant documentation, but if you know any, just point me there please. Btw. I also tried obtainStyledAttributes(), but this had basically the same issues. ou received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

I have an application where I would like the users to be able to change the theme. Currently my layout have elements like this: <LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="@color/background_transparency"> what I would like to do is to change to a new colors.xml that has a different value for "@color/background_transparency" if the user selects one of the themes available. Alternatively to be able to change the value of "@color/background_transparency" in code.Is this possible? Or am I doing this the wrong way.

This is my first app so finding my way around bit by bit and have been experimenting a little and would like to change the background colour to a colour from a list.Currently it loads a white background specified in strings.xml <color name="all_white">#FFFFFF</color> This is used in main.xml:android: background=" @color/all _white"Ideally I would like to change the colour in OnCreate() to a colour of my choice. I have tried setBackground Drawable but it doesnt seem to work?This is my code:public class TestActivity extends Activity double dimValPercent = 100; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super. onCreate (savedInstance State); setContentView(R.layout.main); SetDimLevel(dimValPercent);SetBackground(); return;}public void SetBackground(){getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable( new ColorDrawable (color.all_blue) );

First off, I'm a Mac user so doing these changes while synced to my computer are not possible (I
1 - Last night, I put a background app on my Eris and downloaded a couple. Got the message just fine that they were saved to my SD card.
2 - This question in two parts.
A - Where the heck are they? I went to look for them in the settings area, and I can't find them in any "gallery." What am I doing wrong?
B - Once "found," how do I save them to a gallery that I can use to change the lockscreen background?
Again, I can't do this on a PC and rooting is not an option for me (one, I really don't know much about it, and two, I think you lose Sense UI which I like and don't want to get rid of).locate any files on my SD card. As a matter of fact, the only option shown in my settings for the SD card is "Unmount SD card." The Format SD Card is greyed, so it's not letting me choose it even if I wanted to. Is this a setting somewhere else?

I use Twicca for Twitter, which allows for different colors for the notification LED. I used to have it set for red on my Moto Droid, but it only flashes green on my Incredible. Anyone also use Twicca know what colors I can use?

I have searched for this but didn't really find a clear answer. I am running BB Froyo 0.4---can themes be installed over other themes? IE- can I install blue energy over Xtheme? Is there a way to revert back to the generic BB with no theme or do I need to restore a backup to accomplish this?

I have a custom component that I want to give the same colors as a TextView.That is, I don't want to copy its colors, I want to get the default background and foreground colors, if there's such a concept on android.

I've seen references on how to SET system colours, but I need to find out how you GET them - how do you find out what they are? On the Samsung Galaxy S for example, the tab views, ListView highlights when you select an item, and the Summary text line on the preference screen are all blue.There are many apps which immitate this style and I want to do the same. Obviously I cannot just hard code and set the colour to Blue, as other handsets use different colors.The question is, is there a way to programmatically find out what colour the Preference Screen Summary Line, Tabs, or ListView selections are, so that you can then set that against a TextView elsewhere in your app?How do I get the android system colours?

I'm working on an android application, and I have a drawable that I'm loading up from a source image.On this image, I'd like to convert all of the white pixels to a different color, say blue, and then cache the resultant Drawable object so I can use it later.So for example say I have a 20x20 PNG file that has a white circle in the middle, and that everything outside the circle is transparent.What's the best way to turn that white circle blue and cache the results? Does the answer change if I want to use that source image to create several new Drawables (say blue, red, green, orange, etc)?I'm guessing that I'll want to use a ColorMatrix in some way, but I'm not sure how.

i want to change the background-color of a button using a selector-xml-file. My approach is basically the one from the example at the bottom this page: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/color-list-resource.html.But if I try it with android:textColor as described in the above link it works fine. So it has to be the background issue. I don't want to create a 9patch-png if it's not necessary (basically i just need a "clickable" rectangle so i use a button with a colored background)

I have a list view and an adapter that sets alternating background colors to the list items ("zebra" list style):
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
int colorPos = position % colors.length;
...
convertView.setBackgroundColor(colors[colorPos]);
return convertView;}
But now, when i select an item using scroll wheel, or when I click an item, the original colors for selecting/clicking do not override my custom backgrounds (I can see the original color below the one I set).
How can I set the original colors for these states?

Seems to me that I should be able to set the colors of the SeekBar thumb, slider, and progress bar in my layout xml file. However, I don't see relevant attributes for these SeekBar components. I only want to change the colors, not replace any images being used for the thumb, etc. What am I missing?

So on Android, when we tap on something in the menus it shows up as orange or, on Sense devices, green. Now, I've got nothing major against green. But I would definitely love to have blue or red there instead. Though, I've tried searching the market and internet for a solution to no avail.Does anyone have a solution to my oh-so-simple-but-serious-yet-still-small problem?

I've scoured the interwebs and found many posts regarding how to change the colors of a list view using a list selector.However it does not seem to work for me.So my question would be what am I doing wrong? When I use the below files I get a list where all item backgrounds are initially blue.(I expected white)When I move the focus up and down the text just changes to a dark grey and the item backgrounds are still blue. (This is when I would expect a single row to be blue with the rest white)When I click on a row the background of the row I clicked on turns black and all other rows turned green.(I expected to have the row I clicked turn green and the rest be white)

My app was built on the Android 1.5 platform. I'm in the process of bumping the APIs used to 2.1 . I am still leaving minSdkVersion=3 / targetSdkVersion = 7 in order to support older platforms.
I've made the required drawbles-hdpi / -mdpi - ldpi-v4 folders. Everything is looking great across various AVDs of HVGA/WVGA shapes and sizes.
Everything, except my tabs.
In AVDs running Android 1.5 and 1.6, my tab background colors are appropriate: http://www.shelvesforandroid.com/1p6below.png
However, for platforms running 2.1 and above, something seems to have gone awry:
[url]
Notice that the unselected tab color is correct, but the selected tab looks like it's just bleeding the same color as my images.
What can I do to fix this? Enforce the background color to be the same as 1.6-era ?
What is causing this tab color change?

I have a couple of list views, one uses TextViews laid out with xml, the other uses a custom class derived from View. The default halloween color scheme is pretty ugly. How can I change the background and selection colors for the list elements. Ideally, I'd like to be able to do this in code not xml, to handle the custom view.
