Hi again,
I am using a custom theme for my entire application through the
android:theme xml attribute in the Manifest file:
<application android:theme="@style/CustomActivityTheme" ...>
But it has very minimal content and does not include the button styles
-- these are set manually when needed. Here is the content of the
themes.xml file which defines the relevant minimal theme:
<resources>
<style name="CustomActivityTheme" parent="@android:style/
Theme.NoTitleBar">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
</resources>
Could this have any effect on spinners?
/Michael.
