android - Tabs interfering with application- and activity themes -


we're developing android application has several different tabs. we've been trying apply theme entire application, , we've tried applying theme specific activities. neither has effect.

i have style-file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources>     <style name="recapmain">         <item name="android:buttonstyle">@style/recapbutton</item>         <item name="android:textviewstyle">@style/recaptext</item>     </style>     <style name="recapbutton" parent="android:style/widget.button">         <item name="android:textsize">30sp</item>         <item name="android:background">#ff0000</item>     </style>     <style name="recaptext">         <item name="android:textsize">30dip</item>         <item name="android:textcolor">#ffffff</item>     </style> </resources> 

the application tag in manifest file looks this:

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/recapmain">      <activity android:name="appname"         android:label="@string/app_name"         android:theme="@android:style/theme.notitlebar">         <intent-filter>             <action android:name="android.intent.action.main" />                 <category android:name="android.intent.category.launcher" />         </intent-filter>     </activity> 

this doesn't work. application not react theme. if set specific view use 1 of styles, it's works perfectly. so, can in xml file activity:

<button  android:id="@+id/overviewbuttonyears"  android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"  android:text="@string/years" android:onclick="years" style="@style/recapbutton" /> 

that style button appropriately.

we've tried applying theme specific activity tag, no result.

now, does work, removing intent-filter-tag application tag, , putting in activity tag, this:

<activity android:name=".policytab"  >             <intent-filter>                     <action android:name="android.intent.action.main" />                     <category android:name="android.intent.category.launcher" />             </intent-filter>         </activity> 

that starts specific activity only, , have appropriate theme.

my question then, is, why? we've gussed has tabs, since starting 1 activity enables theme. have work with tabs?

if wany main application theme android:theme="@android:style/theme.notitlebar" customized control styles, should extend theme preferences:

<style name="recapmain" parent="@android:style/theme.notitlebar"> 

this line adopt styles of parent theme recapmain, , inside can write own preferences (as have buttonstyle , textviewstyle).

inside androidmanifest.xml set application theme custom style:

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name"      android:theme="@style/recapmain"> 

update
styles.xml should contain:

<style name="recapmain" parent="@android:style/theme.notitlebar">     <item name="android:buttonstyle">@style/recapbutton</item>     <item name="android:textviewstyle">@style/recaptext</item> </style> <style name="recapbutton" parent="android:style/widget.button">     <item name="android:textsize">30sp</item>     <item name="android:background">#ff0000</item> </style> <style name="recaptext" parent="android:style/widget.textview">     <item name="android:textsize">30dip</item>     <item name="android:textcolor">#ffffff</item> </style>
