I am trying to change the background of a selected item in an ActionBar. I use ActionBarSherlock for compatibility with older versions of Android. I set a specific theme for my activity when the application runs on a device with ICS.
This is my current style:
<style name="Theme.Custom.Light" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar"> <item name="android:actionBarItemBackground">@drawable/abs__item_background_holo_dark</item> <item name="android:selectableItemBackground">@drawable/abs__item_background_holo_dark</item> </style>
My available one is as follows:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:exitFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"> <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/abs__list_selector_disabled_holo_dark" /> <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/abs__list_selector_disabled_holo_dark" /> <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/abs__list_selector_background_transition_holo_dark" /> <item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/abs__list_selector_background_transition_holo_dark" /> <item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/abs__list_focused_holo" /> <item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" /> </selector>
It seems that the attribute will not be overridden. What am I wrong?
