View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Galaxy Nexus running JB 4.2 and I've started playing around with (basic) customisation. Is it possible to change the colour of the Status and System Icons at the top of the screen from the default blue? Preferably to white. I have a nice dark look going courtesy of sammyycakes and others, the blue spoils it a bit.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using handcent for my sms. i think it is great, i can customize it heaps how i want it. however there is an option for changing the colour/rate of the LED blink light for when i get a text, however no matter what i pick it never changes. the little light at the top always blinks every 4-5 seconds in a green colour when i have a new message, however i would love for it to blink blue every second (as i have tried to set it) so that i can differentiate the notifications from reminders and other notifications. is this a problem with the phone not doing wat it is supposed to, or the application isnt working? or a combination, maybe the desire doesnt have any other colours for its LED light?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a background color applied to a ListView but everytime the list is scrolled the background color changes back to the system default (black). When the scrolling stops the color goes back to @color/window_background.The style is applied in AndroidManifest.xml:<activity android:name=".event.EventList" android:theme="@style/CKButtons"></activity> and my ListView looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis 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) );
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I change background color of ListView items on a pair-item basis. When I use android:backgroundColor in the ListView item layout I can achieve this, however the list selector is no longer visible. I can make the selector visible again by setting drawSelectorOnTop to true but then the selector overlays the whole item.
Any ideas how to change those background colors and keep the selector?
I would rather not change the selector itself.
Authors of GMail application have managed to achieve exactly this so it's definitely possible.
Im trying to change background color when an item is selected. Something like using a color selector, but actually it crashes. I've created a list_selector.xml inside /res/color/.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"><item android:state_focused="true" android:color ="@ color/ plain_yellow"/><item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:color ="@color /plain _yellow" /><item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="@color/ plain_yellow" /><item android: state_active="true" android:color="@color/ plain_yellow" /><item android:color="@android: color/ transparent" /></selector> plain_yellow is a color i've defined in /res/values. I've tried to assign that selector programatically and using the xml, but the app crashes. Am i doing something wrong?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've noticed that changing the background color of an android widget (f.ex. Button or TextView) by program:
myButton.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
makes it to loose its 3D shape, border, and shadows effects, and then appears like a ugly flat square. What am I missing?
Sorry for the very naive question but I couldn't get it right although tried for a time.
I have a ListView containing a few different type of items, all having their own background image and font color. In my first implementation I implemented each type of item as its own layout with the background image etc defined in XML (and implemented Adapter.getView() so that it only reuses convertView if it's of the correct type). This works fine but the performance is not that great while scrolling since I'm inflating quite a few Views due to convertView mismatches, so instead I tried using the same layout for all items (to benefit fully from convertView reuse) and changing the background image and font size in runtime. I even keep the three background Drawables I need as members to save time decoding them from a resource for each item, and call View.setBackgroundDrawable() from Adapter.getView(). The problem is, sometimes the 9-patch is not correctly wrapped around the content of the list item when using this approach. While scrolling it usually looks correct but when the scrolling stops, or sometimes when I just tap anywhere on the list, the background 9-patch of some large items starts flickering and is either cropped or resized to its original PNG size rather than stretched to wrap the content.
First of all, I suspect this is a bug? Any ideas why this happens? Could it be that the View is not always measured to reflect the changed content when the 9-patch is applied? I have tried adding an extra call to View.invalidate() but it doesn't solve the problem. Second, does this approach sound reasonable at all, or how should I go about to optimize this scenario?
Anyone on the hero been able to get the LED to flash another colour other than green for notifications?, lots of market programs have the option to change colour for different events mine only ever flashes green. I assume this isn't a feature available on hero at moment, maybe it will be enabled in new version, I really could do with it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am finally about to pull the trigger on a SIM free Hero. I have an Orange contract, but I have read bad things about not being able to root the Orange phones due to changed unlock keys. I am also only halfway through my contract so SIM free is the only way to go for now. This brings me to a tough decision... which colour should I go for ?
White - does it really not get dirty ?
Mocha Brown
Black
Pink - no thanks, not for me
Graphite - not seen SIM free anywhere
I think I like the brown, but haven't seen one in the flesh. I am worried that the white one looks a bit too, Apple. Which did you go for, and why?
I'm trying to find the colour codes (ie hex, RGB(A) etc) for the Holo themes in Ice Cream Sandwich. I see that from the Android Developers website that they are defined in constants, but I need to get the actual values for use elsewhere. I've been searching like crazy for hours and the best I can do is a page that I can't even show you because I'm still a noob on the forum!
I have some values, but I wanted to match them up to the R.color documentation.
Is there a definitive answer as to why the Desire's notification LED won't change colour? I've tried Handcent and got a blue light for SMS delivery, so clearly it is possible, so why can't any other notification app make use of the other colours? (Is there one out there that I've overlooked?) It seems odd that this simple bit of functionality is disabled on a phone that can do so much!

View 15 Replies View RelatedThe HTC Desire has been the first phone in a pretty long time to get me excited and make me think "I want one!" Doing research just adds to that statement! But I still have one dilemma preventing me from buying currently: what colour to get?! I know, it's something completely basic and non-technical, but could mean a great deal. The main colour is named 'Graphite', known as brown/bronze and many more variations! What exactly is this colour? It intrigues me, looking on the internet, it can look purple, brown, grey, black! This is obviously the most common of the Desires and can be picked up unbranded, with original firmware, etc.
Another option is a black HTC Desire. I gather the black, which I feel I like best, is an Orange-exclusive. Over-branding on their part, but I see black non-branded HTC battery covers are coming out soon, so not a biggie. Further, their over-excessive branded firmware can removed and have it clean clean. Finally is the recently-released Silver variation, 'limited-edition' as they said on eXpansys, but I believe this is a common colour in Holland. Looks nice, but the extra price tag seems a sort of over-kill - probably not worth it. Let me know your opinions on any of this and help me decide. Particularly your thoughts on the standard HTC Desire 'graphite' colour! And I have seen some people switch from the graphite to the black versions - again, let me know which one you like best!
What is the nicest colour for Hero in your opinion.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've had a look around the forums but I'm struggling to find out how to change the colour of my active exchange calendar. I use Jorte on top of the stock calendar but it doesn't let me change the font colour as this is decided by the stock one.
My synced google calendars all appear in their relevant colours and if I change them online they will update accordingly. However everytime I create the active exchange its always orange and its not the easiest colour to read.
"Better" includes, but is not limited to:
- pure aesthetics
- timelessness
- desirable after it gets older/dirtier/worn
It's possible to personalize the colour of a notification on status bar? When i get a notification, I see the black and white icon of the app on the status bar.
