I'm currently working on creating a custom theme for a datePicker and I'm having some difficulty with setting the headerBackground and the circle around the selected date separately. I've set my theme up like this:
<style name="State0DatePickerTheme" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="colorAccent">@color/state0Dark</item>
<item name="android:headerBackground">@color/state0Primary</item>
</style>
App theme looks like this:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="State0BaseTheme">
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/state0Primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/state0Dark</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/state0Primary</item>
<item name="android:colorControlNormal">@color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:background">@color/state0Primary</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
And last but not least, State0BaseTheme looks like this:
<style name="State0BaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/state0Primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/state0Dark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/state0Primary</item>
<item name="android:colorControlNormal">@color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:background">@color/state0Primary</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
I had thought that overriding colorAccent, and setting headerBackground would work just fine, but I guess not? Here's what it looks like with all these styles:
If I set android:headerBackground in the xml of the datePicker, everything works great. However, I want to be able to change the theme for all screens of the app based on user input. Thoughts as to why this isn't working?
