Question

I am developing for older versions of Android and am using a PreferenceActivity (I know PreferenceFragment is the right approach going forward).

My PreferenceActivity is taking the theme of my application, but I want it to take whatever the general settings theme is. How do I do this?

Answer 1

So you want to use the android’s default one?

So use something like:

@Override
public void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // API < 10
    setTheme(android.R.style.Theme);
    // API > 11
    setTheme(android.R.style.Theme_Holo);
    // API > 14
    setTheme(android.R.style.Theme_DeviceDefault);

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}

(or do the same in the AndroidManifest.xml file).
