tool bar not removed? - android

So im trying to remove my tool bar on android design page but can't for some reason.
XML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent">
</LinearLayout>

Did you set the theme of your Activity in your Manifest without an ActionBar?
In styles.xml:
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
And in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" />
Then in your design page, you'll need to select the theme you just created in the dialog.

Add this in manifest file
<application
...
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.Fullscreen" >
...
</application>

How to make android layout background transparent?

How to make RecyclerView item background transparent I need to show background image?
I tried 3 solutions given in Stack Overflow and not worked for me
1 : android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"<br>
2 : android:background="#android:color/transparent"<br>
3 : alpfha 0.4
udated i also tried
4: android:background="#null" (Answer from this post) and not working
full xml code
Try to give this on your item CardView
app:cardBackgroundColor="#android:color/transparent"
Try this:
1) In your manifest make that activity theme to Transparent-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.androidhub4you.transparent.background"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/logo"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.androidhub4you.transparent.background.MainActivity"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.transparent"
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>
2) Now your page will be 100% transparent, so if you need some background color then set opacity like-
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#80000000"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
it helps you.
So for the layout you are inflating for the item you can use
android:background="#null"
You can also use developer options on your device to see layout bounds or check the view hierarchy to see which item is giving you problems
First add this style in styles.xml
<style name="Theme.Transparent" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">true</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#android:color/transparent</item>
</style>
then add this line in AndroidManifest.xml below the corresponding activity
android:theme="#style/Theme.Transparent"/>
hope it helps.
set all layout backgrouncolor= '#00000000' also to your Recycleview background color to achieve this view
set transparent color in your view
#80000000

Duplicating items with android:

Trying to setup my app to use Material design:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="android:colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
If items with android: are removed - the colors are not getting applied.
If items without android: are removed - app crashes:
Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.foo.bar/com.foo.bar.MainActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #9: Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
Questions:
Why do I have to duplicate those?
Should I duplicate all styles like that?
EDIT:
The Manifest file is:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.foo.bar">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
EDIT2
activity_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/activity_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="#+id/tl_periods"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:tabMinWidth="100dp"
app:tabMode="scrollable"/>
The theme of your application is not a descendant of AppCompat theme, whereas your TabLayout is from support packages.
You either have to stick with AppCompat theme and views, or entirely be support packages independent, otherwise such nasty issues will rise.

Android- ActionBar hidden in emulator but showing in XML layout

I used getSupportActionBar().hide(); The result is as expected, action bar hidden during app testing but in XML design view its still visible and thats a problem because i need to visualise how the app looks. Any way i can make it disappear in the XML design view?
That's happening because you are programmatically disabling actionbar, and your IDE doesn't know if it happens or not.
Add this to res/values/style.xml (create one if you don't have one)
<style name="AppThemeNoTitleBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
</style>
and put this under application tag in AndroidManifest.xml
android:theme="#style/AppThemeNoTitleBar"
so from the scratch (assuming you don't have anything, it should look like this.
res/values/style.xml
<resources>
<style name="AppThemeNoTitleBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
</style>
</resources>
AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.myapp" >
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppThemeNoTitleBar" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
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>
I think you have theme for your activity in your manifest. if you remove your theme that contains the actionbar, problem is solved.

Strange divider with the v7 support actionbar

The used theme for the actionbar is Theme.AppCompat.Light when using Theme.Holo the issue does not exists.
I am using a custom view for the support v7 actionbar:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/white" >
</LinearLayout>
And I get the following result :
How do I remove the black line/divider between the layout and the actionbar.
I have tried changing the actionbar style but with not much of a success.
<resources>
<style name="Theme.Styled" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<!-- Setting values in the android namespace affects API levels 14+ -->
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="Widget.Styled.ActionBar" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="dividerVertical">#null</item>
<item name="android:background">#null</item>
<item name="android:paddingTop">0dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingBottom">0dp</item>
<item name="android:showDividers">none</item>
<item name="android:background">#null</item>
<item name="android:divider">#null</item>
<item name="android:dividerHeight">0dp</item>
<item name="android:dividerPadding">0dp</item>
</style>
</resources>
Here is my Activity Source:
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.actionbar);
actionBar.setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM);
}
}
This is the manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.actionbartest"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/Theme.Styled" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.actionbartest.MainActivity"
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>
You're probably looking for the android:windowContentOverlay attribute.
To remove that drop shadow, simply set the value to #null in your theme, like so:
<style name="Theme.Styled" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<!-- Setting values in the android namespace affects API levels 14+ -->
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
</style>
How do I remove the black line/divider between the layout and the actionbar.
I think you are mistaken. There really isn't a divider present. To confirm:
Open the layout file you're using with setContentView(R.layout.activity_main). Whatever the base container is, set its background to the color you use with the ActionBar. For example, let's say that the base container is a LinearLayout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/white" > <<<====== Add this
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello World!" />
</LinearLayout>
You'll see that the ActionBar now blends with the activity's view.
What you are currently seeing is a gradient defined as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient
android:startColor="#ffe8e8e8"
android:endColor="#ffffffff"
android:angle="270" />
</shape>
Here's where the background comes from:
(taken from platforms/android-17/data/res/values/themes.xml)
<style name="Theme.Light">
<item name="windowBackground">#android:drawable/screen_background_selector_light</item>
....
To get rid of it, you can either give your base container a background color, or override this attribute's value in your project's res/values/themes.xml:
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
</style>
<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<item name="android:windowBackground">#android:color/white</item>
</style>
Edit:
This is the project setup:
res/layout/activity_main.xml:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/white"
tools:context=".MainActivityCompat" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/hello_world" />
</RelativeLayout>
res/values/styles.xml
<resources>
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
</style>
<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
</style>
</resources>
AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="7"
android:targetSdkVersion="14" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.trialcompat.MainActivityCompat"
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>
MainActivityCompat.java:
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
public class MainActivityCompat extends ActionBarActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.actionbar);
actionBar.setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM);
}
}
R.layout.actionbar is the same as the one you have posted in the question. And this is the result:
As you can see, I cannot reproduce the divider issue. Am I missing something here?
Beside #Vikram answer, add this to the theme:
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#android:color/white</item>
Recommendation: Use the same color you use on your layouts. For the default one, use #null
Hope this helps.
I had the same issue. After lots of trials and fails I found that the bug was because of the 9patch background of the action bar.
I switched the 9patch with a regular image and the black line was gone.
For api version >= 21
AppBarLayout appBarLayout = findViewById(R.id.app_bar_layout);
appBarLayout.setOutlineProvider(null);

setup background color for all app with using sherloack bar

I want to set up for my all my activity's background white.
Still didnt find the way how to do is simple and that it will change my text color to black.
I am using sherloack bar on some my activity's and I think that's my problem.
My manifest looks like that:
<application
android:icon="#drawable/rss"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/CustomTheme"
>
<activity
android:name=".ListRss"
android:label="#string/title_activity_listr_rss"
android:theme="#style/Theme.Sherlock" >
</activity>
<activity android:name="RssItem" >
</activity>
<activity android:name="editRss.AddNewRss">
</activity>
<activity android:name="openRssItem.WebActivity" >
where my style
<style name="CustomWindowTitleBackground">
<item name="android:background">#FFFFFF</item>
</style>
<style name="CustomTheme" parent="android:Theme">
<item name="android:background">#FFFFFF</item>
<item name="android:windowTitleSize">35dip</item>
<item name="android:windowTitleBackgroundStyle">#style/CustomWindowTitleBackground</item>
</style>
and my activity for example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#color/BackgroundColor"
android:id="#+id/myScreen">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearLa"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image"
android:layout_width="50dip"
android:layout_height="50dip"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="#drawable/rss" />
will glade to receive a simple solution that solve the background color to white and the text for black.
You can't use android:Theme as the parent theme of your theme, if you want to use ActionBarSherlock(unless you want to override everything...).
If you want to have the light theme you have to use this:
<style name="CustomTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light">
[...]
</style>
