Question

I like the title bar style from the Android preference category.

In my Activity (not a PreferenceActivity) How can I use the same style?

Answer 1

Since I just spent the last few hours trying to answer this old question, I’ll do it here for anyone else.
It turns out the resource the preference category style is using is listSeparatorTextViewStyle.

You use it like this:

<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello, World"
style="?android:attr/listSeparatorTextViewStyle"/>

Using style="?android:attr/preferenceCategoryStyle" didn’t work.
