I need to add a right padding to the Home button of the ActionBar
and I need to change its background color when it's selected. I could do these things with my tabs, which I added, implementing a new style but I couldn't change the style of my Home button. Are there any way to do it?
This is the source of the theme I have implemented:
<!-- style for the tabs -->
<style name="ActionBarTabStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.Tab">
<item name="android:background">@drawable/button_post</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">7dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingRight">7dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingBottom">10dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingTop">10dp</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionBarStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">@color/button_post_default</item>
</style>
<style name="ActionButtonStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionButton.Overflow">
<item name="android:background">@drawable/button_post</item>
</style>
<!-- Honeycomb theme -->
<style name="Theme.Honeycomb" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">false</item>
<item name="android:actionBarTabStyle">@style/ActionBarTabStyle</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBarStyle</item>
<item name="android:selectableItemBackground">@drawable/button_post</item>
<item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/ActionButtonStyle</item>
</style>
You can do this programmatically.
First get the
View
:Now apply padding:
and add
Drawable
by.setBackground(..)
orColor
by.setBackgroundColor(...)
