How to set background color on an include
tag in Android? This does not work:
<include
android:id="@+id/list_item_section_text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
layout="@android:layout/preference_category"
android:background="%MY_BACKGROUND%"/>
You can not give a background color into include
tag.
Why ?
Its obvious , if you could able to give the background color to include
tag then it would be all messed up with your include
color and another color which might be applied to that layout
which has already included .
If you are not "too-deep-view-tree-paranoia" type of guy, you can wrap your include
in FrameLayout
:
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/list_item_section_text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="%YOUR_BACKGROUND%">
<include layout="@android:layout/preference_category"/>
</FrameLayout>
EDIT: Of course, don't forget to remove android:background
from your preference_category.xml
layout first.
Try this:
<include
android:id="@+id/list_item_section_text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
layout="@android:layout/preference_category"/>
in preference category layout:
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/preference_category"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@colors/white"/>
otherwise changes in RUNTIME
preference_category.setBackgroundResource(R.id.bckResource);
