Editor's Notes
- This is what we’re going to make today
- This is what we’re going to make today
- Styles are another form of resources that you can provide to your activies and views, similarly to how css is used to style html pages.
- By default in your application you will have a default theme in your res/styles.xml file called “AppTheme”You can see that there are 2 properties, a “name” and a “parent”Name is self explanitory, but parent is a theme that you can override, in this case we’re overriding the Dark Action bar style.So far you have seen something like @android:id/ in this case its just using “android:”, but using “@android:style/” will still work.
- This theme is applied to all of our activities by being set in the application node. You can set a specific theme for a specific activity by moving it to the activity node.
