How can I see other activity through my app? - General Questions and Answers

I need background of my app to be completely transparent. I added android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" to <activity...> section of AndroidManifest.xml. But background appeared black instead of transparent. Or may be it is transparent but it has something black behind it. How can I get other app activity screen or launcher screen behind my app?

Solved - applcation itself did not have transparent background.

i doubt that it is in framework-res.apk
check browser.apk and i don't think that it will be a .png. I am pretty sure its a .xml file you will have to edit.
that just looks like a bad status bar background PNG within the framework-res.apk.. (thats just for the dodgy lookin status background with the android pic) not sure about the very top bar thing
When ever you make status bar background transparent, not only browser other apps like market will make kind of ugly look on the notification bar.
This is because behind the transparent notification bar these items operates. since notification bar is transparent you will see it. for instance , if you have semi transparent black notification bar, you will see ugly gray outcome. that a side-effect..
Go and edit framework-res.apk / res/drawable-hdpi/statusbar_backgroundxxx.png
and make it solid.
Hope this is what you are looking for.............
I think the background for the status bar while in the browser is the web page you are viewing at the time.
So if you view a dark page it should look ok. Give your Google a dark theme and see..
You could do like Shiwantha said and make it solid or just make it less transparent and more opaque.

[Q] Messaging App Theme

How do i change the default messaging app to a dark theme instead of a light theme? The actually text background colors change in display, background style, but this doesn't change the MAIN app screen. Guess i need to know the phone app also

[Question] Change App Icons Transparency

hey guys,
I wanted to change my home screen to black and white. So all the apps backgrounds should be transparent but the logo should be white (In whatsapp think that the Speech bubble and phone stay white while the rest is transparent (I have a certain background).
I tried the nocinoci widget but that doesn't seperate the icons and backgrounds.

Does nobody have an answer to this?

is there a way to use a theme's only lockscreen

Hi All,
I have been trying some themes for some time. They all have cons and pros. Sometimes, I love the lock screen of the theme but the icons are too dark or vice-versa. So, what I am curious is: Is there a way to use a theme's only lock screen along with my default theme or with any other theme? What I am trying to use is the lock screen of "sd-Black" theme.
Regards
Unfortunately, right now the themes are an "all or nothing" thing. It's been that way since the theme store launched sadly.

Sad to hear that. It would be nice to customize themes accordingly.
Thank you Devhux.

You can run a 3rd party launcher and then run an icon pack. However, you're still stuck with the notification area theme and the rest of the colors (ie - messaging app, menus, etc...).
I wanted a nice black background with very subdued clock and non-flashy icons for camera/phone on my lock screen. I also wanted nice black notification dropdown and black everything. Tried SD-black but the color on the clock for the lock screen killed it, for me. Turns out you can't mod your icons with icon packs with the default launcher. But by using Nova launcher, MINU black edition theme, and Candycons icon pack, my UI is how I want it, the lock screen is how I want it, and I use the icons I like.
You can always change the background on both home screen and lock screen, too. Regardless.

Actually, that lock screen is what I want But it turns out, I can't have it apart from the theme. I am using default theme and icons (I like them) but I changed the backgrounds with something dark.
