I know that there are varios questions about customized theme for actionbar-sherlock. I also try the accepted answer but no thing change. Here is my theme:
<resources>
<style name="Theme.Styled" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="Widget.Styled.ActionBar" parent="Widget.Sherlock.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="background">@drawable/actionbar_background</item>
<item name="android:background">@drawable/actionbar_background</item>
<item name="backgroundSplit">@drawable/actionbar_background</item>
<item name="android:backgroundSplit">@drawable/actionbar_background</item>
</style>
</resources>
And here is my activity declaration:
<activity
android:name="com.ihnel.tinyapp.xskt.Home"
android:theme="@style/Theme.Styled"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboard" />
My applciation will run on android 2.1+, so I declare the android version as:
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="7"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
I want to set new background to the actionbar sherlock as well as new text font for the title but I can't. Please tell me where is my mistakes to make this works.
UPDATE: Java source I user overlay actionbar style:
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR_OVERLAY);
Here is the code to add menu items:
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu menu) {
menu.add("Search")
.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_action_search)
.setActionView(R.layout.search_edittext)
.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS | MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW);
SubMenu sub = menu.addSubMenu("Theme");
sub.add(0, R.style.Theme_Sherlock, 0, "Default");
sub.add(0, R.style.Theme_Sherlock_Light, 0, "Light");
sub.add(0, R.style.Theme_Sherlock_Light_DarkActionBar, 0, "Light (Dark Action Bar)");
sub.getItem().setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS | MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW);
return true;
};
Thanks .
