How can I set the dark holo theme in my app? At this time I got this:
But
In your application android manifest file, under the application tag you can try several of these themes.
Replace
<application
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
with different themes defined by the android system. They can be like:-
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Dialog"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent"
Each of these themes will have a different effect on your application like the DeviceDefault.Dialog will make your application look like a dialog box. You should try more of these. You can have a look from the android sdk or simply use auto complete in Eclipse IDE to explore the various available options.
A correct way to define your own theme would be to edit the styles.xml
file present in the resources folder of your application.
change parent="android:Theme.Holo.Dark"
to parent="android:Theme.Holo"
The holo dark theme is called Holo
According the android.com, you only need to set it in the AndroidManifest.xml file:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/themes.html#ApplyATheme
Adding the theme attribute to your application element worked for me:
--AndroidManifest.xml--
...
<application ...
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo"/>
...
</application>
By default android will set Holo to the Dark theme. There is no theme called Holo.Dark, there's only Holo.Light, that's why you are getting the resource not found error.
So just set it to:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo" />
