I would like to remove the purple gap in my preference screen:
preference
so that it should look like this:
Google Play Store example
I'm using Xamarin Android and c# to develop my app.
The preference screen is an PreferenceFragmentCompat from Android.Support.V7.Preferences library. The material style is set in my custom theme:
<style name="Theme.DarkTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#673AB7</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#512DA8</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#039be5</item><!--#FF4081-->
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#242424</item>
<item name="android:listDivider">#style/android:drawable/divider_horizontal_dim_dark</item>
<item name="preferenceTheme">#style/PreferenceThemeOverlay.v14.Material</item>
Here is how my xml resource file looks like, which I call by AddPreferencesFromResource(Resources.Id.preference_screen) in my PreferenceFragmentCompats OnCreatePreferences() function:
<android.support.v7.preference.PreferenceScreen
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<android.support.v7.preference.PreferenceCategory
android:title="App">
<Preference
android:key="advsettings_preference"
android:title="Erweiterte Einstellungen" />
<Preference
android:key="license_preference"
android:title="Rechtliche Hinweise" />
</android.support.v7.preference.PreferenceCategory>
</android.support.v7.preference.PreferenceScreen>
I already tried to fix it myself by adding padding attributes to PreferenceScreen, but nothing changed.
All the latest NuGet Packages from Xamarin Android are installed (v27.0.2).
Thanks in advance.
Please try set the style like this;
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
...
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="preferenceTheme">#style/MyPreferenceStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyPreferenceStyle" parent="#style/PreferenceThemeOverlay.v14.Material">
<item name="preferenceCategoryStyle">#style/MyPreferenceCategoryStyle</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">10dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingRight">10dp</item>
</style>
<style name="MyPreferenceCategoryStyle" parent="#style/Preference.Category.Material">
<item name="android:layout">#layout/preference_category</item>
</style>
And preference_category.axml:
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+android:id/title"
android:textColor="?android:attr/colorAccent"
android:textSize="14dp"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-medium"
android:paddingStart="16dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:paddingTop="16dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
And AppSettings:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.preference.PreferenceScreen
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<android.support.v7.preference.PreferenceCategory
android:title="App">
<Preference
android:key="advsettings_preference"
android:title="Erweiterte Einstellungen"
android:summary="BenachRichtigung"/>
</android.support.v7.preference.PreferenceCategory>
</android.support.v7.preference.PreferenceScreen>
It will resolve the gap issue. And also look similar to your screenshot of Google Play Store. Well, not exactly the same from the Layout Inspector, but similar:
The purple area when looking at your layout with "use layout bounds" in the developer options enabled represent margins, not padding as far as I know.
I suggest trying to make a custom layout for your PreferenceCategory and your Preference's and setting them in your above axml using the android:layout attribute as such:
android:layout="#layout/layout_name"
(Might need to play around with both android:layout and android:widgetLayout attributes)

I change the manifest file to use the following theme:
change from:
#style/AppTheme
to
#style/Theme.Material.Light
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" package="App1.App1" android:installLocation="preferExternal">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="23" android:targetSdkVersion="27" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="#string/app_name" android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round" android:supportsRtl="true" **android:theme="#style/Theme.Material.Light"></application>
</manifest>
But when building and deploying got the following error:
Sdkminversion is as follows it is above 21.
uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="23"
i have managed to make it able to compile using Theme.Holo.Light
however,the theme is still black in color by clearing the content in the following folder:
C:\Users\your_name\AppData\Local\Xamarin
Theme.Holo.Light is supposed to be white in colour background ,right?
Any idea what is wrong?
You should define Theme.Material.Light in your /Resource/values/style.xml.
<style name="MyMaterialTheme" parent="Theme.Material.Light">
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#1286d9</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#1286d9</item>
</style>
& than use it like this #style/MyMaterialTheme. You should use color and other features according to your preference.

I upgraded Android Studio 2.2 preview 3 recently but the EditText style changed， In preView:
But run on my phone, It like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/activity_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.hyh.newlearn.MainActivity">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello World!" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/et_show"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:hint="Hello World"/>
</RelativeLayout>
styles.xml:
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
</resources>
Why? How to deal with it?
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0-alpha3'
// classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
If I use classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0-alpha3', it will show the error view.
If I use classpath 'classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'', it will show the right view.
I have exaclty the same problem.
Yuhao, here is my question
android edittext on sdk version from 16-19 shown incorrectly.
but i thought it was couse of api.
You were right.
We have to use last stable version
'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
Is there a way to reuse styles in an iOS app as it's done in android?
(or other approach, css-like, for example)
Like this:
styles.xml
<style name="SplashTheme" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowBackground">#android:color/black</item>
</style>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowBackground">#color/AppBackground</item>
</style>
<!-- Search Bar -->
<style name="AppTheme.SearchBar" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="android:layout_width">match_parent</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">#dimen/searchBarSize</item>
<item name="android:background">#drawable/search_bar_background</item>
<item name="android:layout_alignParentTop">true</item>
<item name="android:layout_alignParentLeft">true</item>
</style>
//...
activity.xml
<LinearLayout
android:layout_below="#id/searchBar"
style="#style/AppTheme.Table"
>
//...
</LinearLayout>
There are several libraries which you should take a look at including Freestyle (http://www.freestyle.org), UISS (https://github.com/robertwijas/UISS), NUI (https://github.com/tombenner/nui) and MAThemeKit (https://github.com/mamaral/MAThemeKit).
Also check out the documentation for UIAppearance.
Short answer: no.
Long answer: You will either need to manually set the styles on each view, OR you could extend the components (or create your own subclasses) which implements the styles you want.
I am trying to open an external link from my menu-config.xml submenu..Is this possible to do ?
It is not working for me
<Menu name="MainMenu" title="MainMenu" description="MainMenu">
<Item name="Google" title="Google" description="Google" link="http://www.google.com" ></Item>
<Item name="Google" title="Google" description="Google" link="http://www.google.com" ></Item>
</Menu>
I tried using location and like this
menu name="google" link="javascript:window.open('http://www.google.com/');"
Thanks
I'm new to Mono for Android (using MonoDevelop) and Android development in general. I want to create a application wide theme. This theme only has to set the background color of all EditText fields gray (just to test the functionality).
In the Resources/values folder I created 2 files:
Styles.xml
<resources>
<style name="tstEditText" parent="android:style/Widget.EditText">
<item name="android:background">#cccccc</item>
</style>
</resources>
Themes.xml
<resources>
<style name="MyApplicationTheme" parent="android:Theme">
<item name="android:editTextStyle">#style/txtEditText</item>
</style>
</resources>
After that I modified the ApplicationManifest.xml
<application android:label="MyApplication" android:theme="MyApplicationTheme"></application>
When I try to build the code I get the following error message: "Error: String types not allowed (at 'theme' with value 'MyApplicationTheme')." The error is thrown on the first activity node in the AndroidManifest.xml that is generated on build by MonoDevelop.
Apparently I'm missing something, but I have no clue...
Thanks in advance for your help!
In the manifest XML you need to specify the theme like this:
android:theme="#style/MyApplicationTheme"
