Android default theme

Question

I am making one android application but i was thinking about themes..

If i don\'t declare a theme of my Android application which theme will be used? Where i can find t

Answer 1

It is best to define a default theme yourself instead of relying on android to pick the default theme. This is because different versions of android may have completely different default themes, and could mess up your layouts.

You can declare a theme for your application in AndroidManifest.xml

Then in res/values folder, you edit/add a file themes.xml and add something like the following:

You can edit the parent of your theme to anything you want...

You can also use @android:style/Theme.Holo directly in AndroidManifest.xml if you do not want any customization at all.

Use Theme.AppCompat.Holo if API version below 11
