Other Material Design Issue

[marcel]

Hi,

First of all, Happy New Year!!

I am using this example program https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/material-design-3-using-a-toolbar-as-actionbar.49053/ to create a new app. I would like to add preferences to my app so I am using the nice lib AHPreferenceActivity Library.

My problem now is how to get the AHPreferenceActivity Library sofar that the colors I am using in the material design is similar in the AHPreferenceActivity. Currently I am only able to have a black background or a white by playing with the themes.

Is there a possibility or should I not use this AHPreferenceActivity Library at all and start all over again ?

Hi Marcel,

did you create the folder "values-v21" in resources ? (add theme.xml)

and SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@style/MyAppTheme")

 

[marcel]

No, But what does this do?

Prepare your app for material. Follow the first two tutorials on how to build a Material App using Appcompat.
You need to define a own Theme

Don that. but the problem is the AHPreferenceActivity is still in black or white.

There will be an PreferenceExtras library available soon (it is in beta test as yet) written by @warwound ...
This will allow you to use nearly any activity as an Preference-Activity...

If i find the time i´ll create a small testproject in Material style and post a screenshot
