I'm developing an android app and I'm trying to use a string resource to store my table title and a style to store my TextAppearance as below:
string:
<resources>
<string name="app_name">DatabaseApp</string>
<string name="table_title">2019 Staff Database</string>
</resources>
style:
<resources>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
<style name="TextStyle" parent="android:TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">20sp</item>
</style>
</resources>
Question: Whenever I introduce the...style="#style/TextStyle"...the table title text changes to TextView, I cant figure out the issue, somebody to help me out. What could be the problem?
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/table_title"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
android:gravity="center"
style="#style/TextStyle"/>
<TableRow>
<!--My other xml codes here-->
</TableRow>
You have declared in your style.xml:
<item name="android:textColor">20sp</item>
I believe android:textColor will not accept a sp or dp value, rather use a color in hex or any resource existing in colors.xml

this is how my activity_main.xml looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- the root view must be the DrawerLayout -->
<androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout

<com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView

android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:headerLayout="#layout/header_navigation_drawer"
app:menu="#menu/drawer_menu" />
</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>
This is how my theme looks like:
<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="Theme.CardsXML1" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<!-- Primary brand color. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/purple_500</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryVariant">#color/purple_700</item>
<item name="colorOnPrimary">#color/white</item>
<!-- Secondary brand color. -->
<item name="colorSecondary">#color/teal_200</item>
<item name="colorSecondaryVariant">#color/teal_700</item>
<item name="colorOnSecondary">#color/white</item>
<!-- Status bar color. -->
<item name="android:statusBarColor" tools:targetApi="l">?attr/colorPrimaryVariant</item>
</style>
</resources>
I want to make drawer cover the status bar. Everything I've treid is in those pieces of code.
I used android:fitsSystemWindows="true" in activity_main.xml
and in theme i placed windowActionBar, windowNoTitle and android:windowTranslucentStatus parameters
but it still doesn't work.
Keep in mind that I want to use MaterialComponents in themes!
I am trying to make a transparent background header for close button. The background header is working as expected, however the background layout can see the visible and button is also not clear.
Am trying to build like this below picture
https://ibb.co/CVgrzjq
My code is as follows:
Activity Code
final BottomSheetDialog dialog = new BottomSheetDialog(this, R.style.BottomSheetMainStyle);
`dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));
`dialog.show();
Layout Code
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:gravity="center|top"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img_close"
android:layout_width="32dp"
android:layout_height="32dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:clickable="true"
android:forceDarkAllowed="false"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/dimen_8"
android:src="#drawable/bottom_close"
/>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:layout_below="#id/img_close"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_dialog"
app:background="#color/bkgcolor"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- All your required widgets here-->
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Activity code
final BottomSheetDialog dialog = new BottomSheetDialog(this, R.style.trans_bg_dialog);
`dialog.show();
Add this in your style.xml file
<style name="trans_bg_dialog" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Dialog">
<item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
</style>
What am I missing to make the TabItem text bigger? I've gone through all similar questions and tried many different statements. I've tried applying a style to the TabLayout as well as the TabItem and nothing seems to work, the text size doesn't change.
Is this capability missing from the material design version?
Thanks
activity_main.xml
<com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
style="#style/TabTheme"
android:layout_width="694dp"
android:layout_height="72dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:tabIndicatorHeight="6dp"
app:tabTextAppearance="#style/TabTheme">
<com.google.android.material.tabs.TabItem
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Clock In" />
styles.xml
<style name="TabTheme">
<item name="android:textSize">40dp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">true</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/primaryDarkColor</item>
<item name="android:includeFontPadding">false</item>
</style>
I have also tried applying the following style to both TabLayout and TabItem
with no result:
<style name="CustomTabText" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Tab">
<item name="android:textSize">100sp</item>
</style>
It's working now. I've been creating a lot of test projects and this one still had the original theme definition by accident:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
I changed it to a material theme:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">
That was the problem
<Button
android:id="#+id/info_button"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:onClick="getInformation"
android:text="#string/information"
android:layout_height="48dp" />
I have selector below I want to use in button and use background color also.Is there any way?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#color/btn_preess" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#color/btn_preess1" android:state_focused="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#color/btn_preess1"/>
</selector>
seems like I am the only one on SO with such problem. Why, android, why ?...
have a look at the image. Only the title is centered (phew). The other two items... help!
here is the relevant xml mojo
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout

android:id="#+id/dl_base"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"

You have set toolbar paddingTop and paddingBottom. You should remove them. I hope it will help resolve your problem.
