Include the needed color into you drawable directly with the @color tag or #RGB format. Make an attribute for your drawable in attrs.xml. <?xml version=”1.0″ … Read more
You need to do next: File->Import (android-sdk\extras\android\support\v7). Choose “AppCompat” Project-> properties->Android. In the section library “Add” and choose “AppCompat” That is all! Note: if you are using “android:showAsAction” in menu item, you need to change prefix android as in the example http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html
You can define the drawables that are used for the background, and the switcher part like this: <Switch android:layout_width=”wrap_content” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:thumb=”@drawable/switch_thumb” android:track=”@drawable/switch_bg” /> Now you need to create a selector that defines the different states for the switcher drawable. Here the copies from the Android sources: <selector xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android”> <item android:state_enabled=”false” android:drawable=”@drawable/switch_thumb_disabled_holo_light” /> <item android:state_pressed=”true” android:drawable=”@drawable/switch_thumb_pressed_holo_light” … Read more

To have a centered title in ABS (if you want to have this in the default ActionBar, just remove the “support” in the method names), you could just do this: In your Activity, in your onCreate() method: getSupportActionBar().setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM); getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(R.layout.abs_layout); abs_layout: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android” android:layout_width=”wrap_content” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:layout_gravity=”center” android:orientation=”vertical”> <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatTextView android:id=”@+id/tvTitle” style=”@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title” android:layout_width=”wrap_content” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:gravity=”center” … Read more
Setting Theme in manifest is usually used for Activity. If you want to set Theme for Fragment, add next code in the onGetLayoutInflater() of the Fragment: override fun onGetLayoutInflater(savedInstanceState: Bundle?): LayoutInflater { val inflater = super.onGetLayoutInflater(savedInstanceState) val contextThemeWrapper: Context = ContextThemeWrapper(requireContext(), R.style.yourCustomTheme) return inflater.cloneInContext(contextThemeWrapper) }
When you use Theme.AppCompat in your application you can use FullScreenTheme by adding the code below to styles. <style name=”Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar.FullScreen” parent=”@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar”> <item name=”android:windowNoTitle”>true</item> <item name=”android:windowActionBar”>false</item> <item name=”android:windowFullscreen”>true</item> <item name=”android:windowContentOverlay”>@null</item> </style> and also mention in your manifest file. <activity android:name=”.activities.FullViewActivity” android:theme=”@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar.FullScreen” />
