How can I remove the searchOrbView in the BrowseFragment of Android TV?
I see a way to set the colors (setSearchAffordanceColors), but no way to actually remove the SearchOrbView
Since the TitleView is a private member of BrowseFragment (and TitleView is the way to get to the SearchOrbView), I see no way of actually removing the SearchOrbView
According to the official documentation, calling setOnSearchClickedListener() causes the search orb to be displayed in the title view.
Removing the method invocation will make the orb disappear.
For those who doesnt read comments
you can simply achieve that defining a new style with Theme.Leanback.VerticalGrid as parent and setting item browseRowsMarginTop to any dp value you need. Then set this theme for the Activity implementing the vertical grid view. – fasteque
It helped me.
style.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="#style/Theme.Leanback"></style>
<style name="NoTitleTheme" parent="#style/Theme.Leanback">
<item name="browseRowsMarginTop">5dp</item>
</style>
</resources>
AndroidManifest.xml
....
<activity
android:name=".stackedadprogram.StackedAdProgramActivity"
android:exported="true"
android:parentActivityName=".launcher.ProgramDetailActivity"
android:theme="#style/NoTitleTheme" />

I am trying to use a custom title to include an image button to the title bar.
I got a lot of help form this post: android: adding button to the title of the app?, but could not get it work for my ListActivity.
In a nutshell, following is what I have:
I hide the titlebar in the AndroidManifest.xml
The specify a relative layout for the custom title (workorder_list_titlebar.xml)
My Activity Class looks like the following:
public class WorkOrderListActivity extends ListActivity {
String[] orders={"WO-12022009", "WO-12302009","WO-02122010", "02152010"};
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
this.getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.workorder_list_titlebar);
setContentView(R.layout.workorder_list);
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(this,R.layout.workorder_list, R.id.label,orders));
}
}
When I ran the app, I got AndroidRuntimeException: You cannot combine custom titles with other title features.
Base on the stack trace, the exception was thrown by com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow.requestFeature(PhoneWindow.java:183), that was triggered by setlistAdapter call.
Does anyone have the same problem with ListActivity?
Also once I manage to get this work, how do I attach listeners to the image button for it to do something?
Thanks in advance.
I had the same issue and I fix it deleting
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
from my theme.xml
Make you create custom style in “values” folder. Make sure you code as below.
<style name="CustomTheme" parent="android:Theme">
Don't modify parent parameter.
This did work for me.
Instead of modifying your theme.xml you may also:
create a new XML style file my_theme.xml in values folder like this:
<style name="MyWindowTitleBackground">
<item name="android:background">#444444</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTheme" parent="android:Theme">
<item name="android:windowTitleBackgroundStyle">#style/MyWindowTitleBackground</item>
</style>
You may define other settings as you like in this theme.
Then just use this theme in your manifest within the activity's attributes
android:theme="#style/MyTheme"
Finally set your custom title as always in your activity.java:
final Window window = getWindow();
boolean useTitleFeature = false;
// If the window has a container, then we are not free
// to request window features.
if (window.getContainer() == null) {
useTitleFeature = window
.requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
}
setContentView(R.layout.screen_main);
if (useTitleFeature) {
window.setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE,
R.layout.custom_title);
// Set up the custom title
main_title = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.title_left_text);
main_title.setText(R.string.app_name);
main_title = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.title_right_text);
main_title.setText(R.string.Main_titleInfo);
}
Don't forget to define the custom_title.xml file in your layout folder. For example...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/title_left_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:singleLine="true" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/title_right_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#fff" />
</RelativeLayout>
I think notenking is right, that this is a problem in activities within tabs. Since some of my activities can either be stand-alone or within a tab, I've found the following helps:
final Window window = getWindow();
boolean useTitleFeature = false;
// If the window has a container, then we are not free
// to request window features.
if(window.getContainer() == null) {
useTitleFeature = window.requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
}
setContentView(layoutId);
if (useTitleFeature) {
window.setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.window_title);
}
May be you find this problem when use it in tab,for there already have a title and you can not add a custom title again.
you should add this custom title in the activity which you get the Tab
I did exactly as Sunny Dasari did but with one small change I put the # before and android in the parent attribute.
So my code looked like this.
<style name="CustomTheme" parent="#android:Theme">
To avoid crashing, you can simply add
android:theme="#style/android:Theme"
to the <Activity> tag in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity
android:name="test.TestActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/android:Theme">
This is because the styles defined in your default theme conflict with FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE (such as the attribute android:windowNoTitle). By using another theme, you can avoid such problems.
However, you might further need to define your own theme to change other attributes, such as android:windowTitleSize, background color, text color and font, etc. In this case, you can derive your theme from an existing theme (e.g., Theme.Light) and modify its attributes:
<resources>
<style name="CustomWindowTitleBackground">
<item name="android:background">#323331</item>
</style>
<style name="CustomTheme" parent="#style/android:Theme.Light">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">false</item>
<item name="android:windowTitleSize">60dip</item>
<item name="android:windowTitleBackgroundStyle">#style/CustomWindowTitleBackground</item>
</style>
</resources>
Try swapping following lines:
setContentView(R.layout.workorder_list);
this.getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.workorder_list_titlebar);
I have run into this issue as well and it looks like it is an issue with what theme is applied to an activity in the AndroidManifest.xml file. If I use a theme like:
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Holo
Then it will throw the error
android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: You cannot combine custom titles with other title features
However if I use a different theme like:
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Black"
then it will not throw the error and subsequently will not crash. However I am trying to use a theme like Theme.Holo. I'm not sure if there is a way around this.
Since, I was trying to compile my program in android 4.0, I was facing the same problem. None of these solutions helped.So, I copied my style contents from values > styles.xml and pasted it in values-v11 styles.xml file and values-v14 styles.xml file. Bingo, the trick worked.
As a beginner most of the answers didn't help me for my case. So here is my answer.
Go to res/values folder in your android project and check for strings.xml (this file may vary in your case, something like themes.xml)
Inside the file under resource tag check whether you have style tags. If you don't find it, add the code below as mentioned below as a child to resources tag
something like below
<resources>
<style name="SomeNameHere">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
</resources>
if you already have style tag, just add the code below to your style tag
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
I finally understood what themes are and how to apply them to a dialog.
I would like to create a theme and I need help from you to achieve what I want. I basically want to create a theme to apply to alert dialogs and to dialogs throughout my application.
In my theme, I need to define the title background color, title text size, main body background color and main body text size. What items should I use?
Here is the starting code to prove that I put some work into it :)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="myGeneralDialogStyle" parent="#android:style/Theme.Dialog">
<item name="?"></item>
</style>
</resources>
IF all you got is the XML you shown above, then if your questions is about this "?" sign in name="?" part, then only thing you can use here are defined attributes. In your case you can i.e. use android:* ones. If you need to define own attributes then see here: Declaring a custom android UI element using XML
I'm trying to make a custom titlebar for my first Android application.
While I can find lots on the web about how to make them so you can change colours etc, I want my titlebar to look the same as the "standard" titlebar, but with a button that I can configure. This means copying the device's currently active themes to be able to style it in exactly the same way.
Not all devices simply use a gradient in the titlebar style, so adding a gradient (as suggested in other SO questions) doesn't really make sense.
Does anyone have any pointers how to read the style information?
try to extend an existing theme e.g.
create your own style which can ofcourse extend from existing from an existing theme. change the windowNoTitle to true.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="noTitleBarStyle" parent="android:Theme.Black">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#color/darkGrey</item>
<item name="android:colorForeground">#ff3333</item>
</style></resources>
or try to do it runtime as discussed here
Android - change custom title view at run time
I hope this helps.
I have a couple custom preference items -- one that displays a swatch of the currently selected color, and another one that displays a thumbnail.
I have a custom layout for these that matches up very well, and have found that I can make the text appearance match by using android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" as part of the TextView's xml. The problem is, while these generally look fine, they must not be the appearance the 'official' preferences use, since the colors end up wrong on some devices. In particular I'm porting my application to the Nook Color, and it uses a light grey background and black text color on the preference screen instead of black background/light grey text. My text color in this situation stays the same, but the rest of my layout is themed appropriately.
I'm really unsure what I'm supposed to do here to make my text match up with the 'official' theme. Should I be using obtainStyledAttributes and running though my layout to set things? The tutorials I've seen on using that so far have been really baffling, and it seems like there must be a textAppearance or style I can set in the XML to fix this.
You've to define your own application theme which inherits from the official theme you want. Actually, you can just define a theme MyTheme extending the Theme.Light for example.
Create an res/values/styles.xml file like that:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="MyTheme" parent="#android:style/Theme.Light">
</style>
</resources>
Then, you just have to apply your theme using the android:theme attribute of the application entity of your AndroidManifest.xml:
<application android:theme="#style/MyTheme">
[...]
</application>
