Android Question Activity.Title

[TrevG]

Hi,

I have a program that I wrote some time ago that does the following:

Activity.Title = "SetCourse"
Activity.TitleColor = Colors.RGB(0, 255, 0) 'Lime

This program displays "SetCourse" in a lime green color, in a small font, with no icon at the front.

I have a new program where I do exactly the same but I get different results e.g.

1. Android icon at front
2. The text is much larger than the original program
3. The color does not change to what I have specified

Note: If I make change to the original program it still works as expected.

Any idea why these programs are behaving differently ?

Change the target sdk to 14 in your manifest.

android:targetSdkVersion="14"

However, depending on the Android version on the device where the app is installed the results will be different.

Thanks for the quick reply. You are spot on re the SDK version.

My old program that had no icon, small font and the color I wanted had this line:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />

My new program had:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>
I changed this line to be the same as my new program and both programs now behave the same.

Am I going to have issues not having android:targetSdkVersion="14" ? Does it default the target version ?

It will work properly on all devices. It will use the "old" UI style.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to change Activity.TitleColor = Colors.RGB(0, 128, 0) or just any color but the color doesn't change, when i change the text it works, i tried color.black but that doesn't work either.
Any ideas what can cause this ?

# If i can hide the title bat it would work as well, but changing it in the designer to not show doesn't hide the title bar.
