Trying to use holo theme in Android not working

问题:

I've been trying to set a holo theme in Android, but I haven't been able to get it to recognize it. Any ideas?

Posted is my manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.test.test"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="15"/>

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo">
        <activity
            android:name=".TestActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

It gives me the red line under @android:style/Theme.Holo even if I change the minSdkVersion to 11. Any ideas?

Update:

I changed the line <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="15"/> to <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="15"/> and I am still getting the same error.

Update 2:

This ended up being that my target api was specified correctly in the manifest, but not in project properties. Weird, but now as is well.

回答1:

you are trying to use the Holo theme for API Low than Android 4.0 that's why you get the red Line you can:

1. Use the HoloEverywhere project
2. Pick the necessary resources for Holo Theme you most want from the ICS source and create your own custom theme/styles https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/tree/master/core/res
3. You ca also try to make use a custom theme for Android Api 7 to 10 and the holo theme for Api 11 and higher, see @Alex Lockwood's answer.

Eclipse is giving you an error because SDK versions 7-10 won't know what Theme.Holo is. You need to provide separate styles for both platforms to ensure that the correct style will be found at runtime.

1. In your res/values/styles.xml file, create the following style:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <resources>
       <style name="Theme.MyTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Black" />
   </resources>
   

2. In your res/values-v11/styles.xml file, create the following style:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <resources>
       <style name="Theme.MyTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo" />
   </resources>       
   

3. In your AndroidManifest.xml file, use the following line for your application's theme:

   android:theme="@style/Theme.MyTheme"

The Holo theme needs to be updated in all of the style folders. Check under the values folder, values-sw600dp, values-sw720dp-land, values-v11 and values-v14. The theme on values-v14 overrides all other themes on the higher API's.
