Native Android Field Theming

[letha...@gmail.com]

Hi

I would like to use the standard Android Theme (and iOS) where possible. However, I've been instructed to make the background black, with white fields. As such I would need to change the looks of the native field, below, from the grey/blue combination to a white/green combination. What would be the best way to go about this?

Thanks!

Hi,
by default a theme inherits from native so you should go thru the theme tutorial and create your own theme. It would still keep the native elements which you don't modify: http://www.codenameone.com/how-do-i---create-a-simple-theme.html

To customize an individual component you usually use an image border explained here: http://www.codenameone.com/how-do-i---create-a-9-piece-image-border.html

Thanks Shai.

I know in vanilla Android it's done quite easily and was hoping there was a way to do so without borders. No problem, will get on it.

As an example in vanilla Android:

In Android you would generally use a 9-piece border too in order to customize theming.
