Android Question PreferenceActivity FullScreen without setting a Theme

[Pantelis]

Hi all.
Is it possible to make an PreferenceActivity FullScreen and NoTitleBar without setting a Theme? I want the PreferenceActivity to maintain the theme of the device but FullScreen.

Thanks

set the Region Activity Attributes

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: True
    #IncludeTitle: False
#End Region

Region Activity Attributes is present on a user created activity. But how to change these attributes on the activity created from PreferenceActivity Library?

Cant you edit the PreferenceActivity entry in the manifest to achieve this.

The only way i found in the forum to do this in the manifest is this

AddApplicationText(
<activity
  android:name="anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.preferenceactivity"
  android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">
</activity>
)

But this changes the theme of preferenceactivity, so i have different theme on my main activity and different theme on preference activity if target device had API 11 or better. I want the theme of main and preferenceactivity to be the same on every device. If i dont put this code to manifest editor the themes are same. But if i put it the theme of preferenceactivity changes.
Is it possible to change only those attributes (FullScreen and NoTitleBar) without to set a theme?

Guys? Not possible?

Test it with: Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar.Fullscreen

If that works then you can combine the two styles: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/theme-based-on-version-tutorial.27624/#content

Thank your for the response Erel

I tried it. It gives me this error.

I use API8 for my app for backward compatibility.

You should reference a newer android.jar. Backwards compatibility will be maintained if you follow the steps in that tutorial.
