I started a new test app, and downloaded a Holo Theme (by name JSTheme) from Android-holo-colors.com
And replaced the /res folder contents with the res folder in that downloaded zip file.
But when I replace the line in tiapp.xml
<android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />
to this, then the compile is not happening. It shows then:
[ERROR] : Failed to package application:
[ERROR] Application Installer abnormal process termination. Process exit value was 1
<android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<tool-api-level>14</tool-api-level>
<manifest>
<application android:theme="@style/Theme.JSTheme"/>
<uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>
</manifest>
</android>
And when I restore back the lines above to same
Then the app gets compiled and everything works.
Am I doing something wrong?

- Make sure that the JSTheme.xml file is in the correct directory and format
--> The correct directory for android themes is
platform/android/res/values/JSTheme.xml
And the correct format should be like
<!-- Works for Titanium SDK 3.3.0 and later -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<style name="LightDarkBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"/>
<style name="Light" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light"/>
<style name="Dark" parent="Theme.AppCompat"/>
</resources>
For more details about custom themes, check this link.
If this doesn't work, try this code in the tiapp.xml
:
<android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<manifest>
<application android:theme="@style/Theme.JSTheme"/>
</manifest>
</android>
Titanium doesn't support Holo themes anymore, make sure that you select 'appcompat' on the compatibility section of Android-holo-colors.com
Also, i found it best to use only lower case letters on the website and then capitalise the first letter in tiapp.xml
e.g.
on Android-holo-colors.com name it: jstheme
then in tiapp.xml: <application android:theme="@style/Theme.Jstheme"/>
