从自定义应用程序主题设置android窗口标题栏图标

Question

Is it possible to set the window title bar title and icon from my own custom theme? when i create a new Android project in eclipse and have it use AppTheme as shown here

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light" />

the window title bar title and icon appear as i want them.

When i select my own theme in the mainfest file only the title shows in the window title bar and not the icon.

My theme is as follows

style name="GenericWallpaper" parent="android:Theme.Light"
item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/blackbackground
item name="android:layout_width">fill_parent
item name="android:layout_height">fill_parent

I would rather use my xml style file to specify the icon and title are required than having to set it programatically in the window title bar in every activity.

I am using android:minSdkVersion="8" , android:targetSdkVersion="15"

You can use the Action Bar Style Generator . It is a free and open source tool made by Jeff Gilfelt.
