I am posting this to determine if this is a bug I should file or my own operator error. Any input would be appreciated.
I was attempting to use a theme to change the background of all buttons in my application. Instead of using a StateListDrawable<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/StateListDrawable.html> I am trying a ColorStateList<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/ColorStateList.html> . My theme is simply: *<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>* *<resources> * * <style name="EarthToneTheme" parent="CustomLightTheme">* * <item name="android:buttonStyle">@style/EarthtoneButton</item>* * <!-- <item name="android:listViewStyle">@style/EarthtoneListView</item>* * <item name="android:tabWidgetStyle">@style/EarthtoneTabWidget</item> -->* * </style>* *</resources>* My style is: *<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>* *<resources>* * <style name="EarthtoneButton" parent="android:Widget.Button">* * <item name="android:background">@color/button_selector_earthtone</item>* * <!-- <item name="android:background">@color/earthtone_darkblue</item> -->* * </style>* *</resources>* My ColorStateList<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/ColorStateList.html> is in res/color/ and is: *<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>* *<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; >* * <!-- Normal -->* * <item android:state_window_focused="false" android:state_enabled="true" * * android:color="@color/earthtone_darkblue" />* * <!-- Pressed -->* * <item android:state_pressed="true" * * android:color="@color/earthtone_darkgreen" />* * <!-- Selected -->* * <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="true"* * android:color="@color/earthtone_mediumgreen" />* * * * <item android:state_window_focused="false" android:state_enabled="false"* * android:color="@color/earthtone_lightgrey" />* * <item android:state_enabled="true"* * android:color="@color/earthtone_darkblue" />* * <item android:state_focused="true"* * android:color="@color/earthtone_mediumgreen" />* * <item android:color="@color/earthtone_darkblue" />* *</selector>* Below is my sesson data and stack trace. *Eclipse

org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:577) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1410) I am trying to figure out why XmlPullParserException is requiring a drawable attribute? This is a ColorStateList so it should look for and use the color attribute. I can substitute a color for the ColorStateList in my style and all will work as expected. I can substitute a StateListDrawable and all works fine. If I add both drawable and color attributes to my state selector xml the drawable attribute will be used and the color attribute either covered up or ignored. I can not get a ColorStateList to work with a button. any help using a theme and ColorStateList with buttons would be very helpful.
