Hi there,
I finally figured out I should migrate from FormsApplicationActivity to FormsAppCompatActivity. After doing that and adapting a few configuration options here and there, my theme is now as follows:
<style name="CustomTheme" parent="CustomTheme.Base">
</style>
<style name="CustomTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<!-- We will be using the toolbar so no need to show ActionBar -->
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<!-- Set theme colors from http://www.google.com/design/spec/style/color.html#color-color-palette-->
<!-- colorPrimary is used for the default action bar background -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
<!-- colorPrimaryDark is used for the status bar -->
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark</item>
<!-- colorAccent is used as the default value for colorControlActivated
which is used to tint widgets -->
<item name="colorAccent">@color/accent</item>
<!-- You can also set colorControlNormal, colorControlActivated
colorControlHighlight and colorSwitchThumbNormal. -->
<!--item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/primary_light</item-->
<!--item name="colorControlActivated">@color/primary_light</item-->
<!--item name="colorLongPressedHighlight">@color/listitem_longpressed</item-->
</style>
That's dumb but I don't figure out how to get back a dark actionbar:
It does not look dark at all, since it's white background with black text...
