Android Question Applying theme to StdActionBar

Create a folder (let assume the name of the folder is resource) in your project folder where you have the your_project.b4a file.
Copy all generated folder to that newly created folder. Like:

• resource\drawable\themes.xml
• resource\values\styles_test.xml

Then add this line to your main activity:

Also, try and have a look at appcompat.

Hi Brandsum,

Thanks for your quick reply.
As you said i made a new folder Resources in application folder with 2 sub folders drawable and values.
These contain the generated drawable folders and style_test.xml file and renamed it to themes.xml.
I removed the line
SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@style/Theme.test") line to manifest editor. from manifest

and added
#AdditionalRes: "..\resource" in main activity

It gives error.

Failed to generate resource table for split ''
..\resources\values\themes.xml:29: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'android:actionModeBackground' with value '@drawable/cab_background_top_test').

It is quite simple. See this: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/theme-colors.87716/

Thanks Erel,

Truth is that you shouldn't use StdActionBar at all. Use TabStripViewPager. It looks better and works better.

That means there is no cab_background_top_test file inside drawable folder.

Check if you have missed some files.

Oh Erel having come this far i did not want to hear this. Anyways I will work on it.
Thanks to all of you Brandsum, mcqueccu and Erel.
