People, why can't I change the colors of the Theme.Holo.Light theme, but at the same time the Theme.Material.Light theme changes with the same attributes?

Here is the code:

<resources> <!-- Base application theme. --> <style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Light"> <!-- Customize your theme here. --> <item name="android:colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item> <item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item> <item name="android:colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item> <item name="android:colorBackground">@color/colorBackground</item> </style>

and in another topic with the same attributes no longer works:

 <!-- Base application theme. --> <style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light"> <!-- Customize your theme here. --> <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item> <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item> <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item> <item name="colorBackground">@color/colorBackground</item> </style>

"android:" in the second example, I was prompted to remove the IDE, but it still does not work, help!

  • You do not have the same attributes, but different. More precisely - in the second case there is no namespace - YuriySPb ♦

Try instead of the 2nd option to write like this:

 <style name="AppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light"> <!-- Customize your theme here. --> <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item> <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item> <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item> <item name="colorBackground">@color/colorBackground</item> </style>
  • the same thing, the fact is that the theme works, not all my attributes work, which in <item> </ item> - Maxgmer
  • for example, the color of the action bar has not changed, although here it should change to mine. - Maxgmer
