Extending android:WindowTitle

Question

I wish to extend android:WindowTitle

But parent=\"android:WindowTitle\" no longer works in newer SDKs. It\'s a private style

What

Answer 1

You can open android-sdk-windows\platforms\android-6\data\res\values\styles.xml and copypaste your style from there.

I can see in there something like

<style name="WindowTitle">
        <item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
        <item name="android:textAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.WindowTitle</item>
        <item name="android:shadowColor">#BB000000</item>
        <item name="android:shadowRadius">2.75</item>
</style>

So you can define the same or similar style in your code. Generally, data/res directory in android SDK contains many interesting resources.
