Question

I am using HoloEveryWhere Library with Holo.Theme.Sherlock.Light as the parent theme. I am also using splitActionBarWhenNarrow and so the top ActionBar and bottom ActionBar will be of Light colors. I would like to have dark color in top ActionBar, so I have changed it programmatically and it works fine.

As I have Light theme as parent and dark color in top ActionBar, the homeAsUpIndcator will be of dark color which is not visible in a dark top ActionBar.

Thus I have created a custom theme to make the homeAsUpIndcator a light one. I have succeeded in what I need using this theme :

`

<style name="AppTheme" parent="@style/Holo.Theme.Sherlock.Light">
    <item name="android:homeAsUpIndicator">@drawable/abs__ic_ab_back_holo_dark</item>
    <item name="homeAsUpIndicator">@drawable/abs__ic_ab_back_holo_dark</item>
</style>

`

This is working perfectly in Android 2.2 Emulator but not in ICS+ I am getting the dark bottom ActionBar and ActionPopupMenus 🙁

Actually I did not specify any Dark theme anywhere!
Am I missing any attributes for the custom theme ?

Answer 1

I suspect that you have a values-v11 folder where you also have your theme declared(‘AppTheme’). You can remove the style(if you don’t plan to do something else with it)
