I am trying to create a new alertbox with a loading symbol in my android application. Working fine. Below is my code.
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
builder.setView(inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom, null));
progress = new ProgressBar(this);
builder.setMessage("Message");
builder.setView(progress);
//builder.setCancelable(false);
builder.create().show();
My Custom.XML looks like
<?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"

Testing in android 4.1.2
But when I create a new application and follow this code I am getting an alert box like this
But When I implement the same code in my existing application. I am getting an alert box like this
Since I want the first one in my existing application. Its ruining my time..
Can any one please help me. I am new to android
Thanks in advance
Your existing application uses Theme.Black, that's why dialog has black background. Change theme to Theme.Holo.Light to fix it.
For recommended way to do this, take a look at my other answer.
EDIT: Looks like you're applying the correct theme to your <application> tag, but then you're overriding it by setting Theme.NoTitleBar (which is a descendant of Theme.Black) to each of your activities.
Remove android:theme attribute from <activity> tags and it will work.
If you want to remove title and action bar, apply windowNoTitle and windowActionBar attributes to your theme definition:
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
If you want to use Holo Theme you must set your API level to 14 (that has hardware acceleration enabled as default);
Try to insert:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" />
At your AndroidManifest.xml.

I'm using a com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup in an AppCompatActivity, but when I try to make a Chip, I'm getting java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The style on this component requires your app theme to be Theme.MaterialComponents (or a descendant).. I have tried every possible Theme.MaterialComponents theme (yes, even .Bridge), and I'm still getting the error. Somewhere else in the app, I'm also using a chipgroup and making new chips, and everything works fine. What am I missing here?
Relevant in MyActivity:
Chip chip = new Chip(getApplicationContext());
Relevant in MyActivity xml:
<com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup

Don't use application context, use the activity's context. Application context does not have material theme enabled in it.
i removed Action Bar from all activities Then I put to specific activity an action bar and when i used SupportsRtl (in Specifed Activity) for change title position but title position still no changed

You can't do such thing in Manifest.xml.
I recommend set android:layoutDirection="rtl" into your activity parent layout to set just that specific activity support rtl.
this article has great information about layout directions support.
When you enable support for RTL layouts like this:
<application
...
android:supportsRtl="true">
You enable the use of this feature for every activity in the app.
This suggests that the problem probably lies in the layout of your AppBarLayout/ Toolbar.
In order for the application to properly reflect the direction, you should use the appropriate attributes - instead of using Left/Right, you should use Start/End ones. To read more check Android Developers Blog.
You can also use the automatic Android Studio option by selecting Refactor > Add RTL Support Where Possible...
I have my activity with an action bar which I want to customize, however Android is ignoring all my styles...
This is how it looks now:
It should look with a blue background instead and the application logo should be there also...

I also want to hide those 3 dots in the action bar which open the menu to the settings, which I don't have...
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
I believe your issue is related to using the app compatibility library. Try removing the android: prefix from your Actionbar styles. See Styling the Action Bar and appcompat v21.
AppCompat v21 brings the Material theme to all devices. Two changes with this is the use of the new color palette for theming your action bar and activity. In the new system, coloring your action bar is accomplished via a theme such as:
<style name="SmartCampusTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/actionbar_bg_color</item>
</style>
In addition, the lack of the app icon is expected. Per the Toolbar documentation:
In modern Android UIs developers should lean more on a visually distinct color scheme for toolbars than on their application icon. The use of application icon plus title as a standard layout is discouraged on API 21 devices and newer.
The action bar showing a 'Settings' option is part of the initial template - you can delete the onCreateOptionsMenu method to remove all items from the options menu.
I'm currently working on my first android app following the official tutorial.
Right now im trying to add Action Buttons to my
MainActivity:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu items for use in the action bar
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main_activity_actions, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
res/menu/main_activity_actions.xml
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<!-- Search, should appear as action button -->
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:title="#string/action_search"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
<!-- Settings, should always be in the overflow -->
<item android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:title="#string/action_settings"
android:showAsAction="never" />
</menu>
The application is running without any errors, but the search button is not displayed. ic_action_search icon is properly placed into res/drawable-* and action_search/action_settings is defined in strings.xml.
Am I missing something?

As per the document
If your app is using the Support Library for compatibility on versions as low as Android 2.1, the showAsAction attribute is not available from the android: namespace. Instead this attribute is provided by the Support Library and you must define your own XML namespace and use that namespace as the attribute prefix. (A custom XML namespace should be based on your app name, but it can be any name you want and is only accessible within the scope of the file in which you declare it.) For example:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:yourapp="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" >
<item android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:title="#string/action_search"
yourapp:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
...
</menu>
You are missing custom namespace in the main_activity_actions.xml. Remove yourapp with the name of app or anything.
I wanted to add my own custom action bar to the drawer navigation by Google which i have figured out, the problem is, that when I try to open the drawer the Action bar then disappears, along with the icon that allows me to toggle the drawer is also gone for good. it again disappears when i click on my next fragment activity. I also noticed that if i leave the theme of the app back to its default theme everything works fine.
here's my custom theme style class
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<!-- the theme applied to the application or activity -->
<style name="CustomActionBarTheme"
parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<!-- ActionBar styles -->
<style name="MyActionBar"

</style>
</resources>

When it works i use #android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar for the theme
