尝试自定义Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar时出错

Question

I have just changed to using the appcompat theme:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">


        <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item>


    </style>
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
        <item name="android:backgroundStacked">@color/orange</item>
        <item name="android:background">@color/orange</item>

    </style>

I am importing the AppCompat libs in build.xml

compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.+"

So why is this error below happening?

Error:Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name '@android:style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar'.

From these docs it appears it should work.

Answer 1

I found that when using support libraries one should ommit the android: prefix. So just try:

Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar

Edit:

As I've said, for support themes you need to ommit android: . That means everywhere:

<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
    <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>

<style name="MyActionBar" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
    <item name="backgroundStacked">@color/orange</item>
    <item name="background">@color/orange</item>
</style>

This is all nicely pointed out in the documentation .
