I have recently updated my app to implement Material Design. To make the app backwards compatible, I changed my appBaseTheme from "Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar" to "Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar". However, I have a custom keyboard that keeps popping up in the old holo theme.

I think I have to use a style called "Widget.Material.Light.KeyboardView", but I get the message:

Error: Resource is not public

when I try to use it in the theme attribute of my keyboardView. All I want is for my keyboard to look similar to the new Lollipop keyboard. Can anybody help me?

  • Did you ever figure this out? I would love to see how you got Material Design working, my keyboard still looks like it's from Gingerbread. – keeehlan Feb 07 '16 at 17:17

I somehow also missed this answer, but this should cover what you're trying to do. Setting a flat color to the keys or the background will give it a very Material look, depending on the color palette you choose.
