which is mean my own created icons?oh and ya..i almost forgotten..every icons i should make it appears by edit/add in the drawable.xml and appfilter.xml yes?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
...And in icon_pack.xml or else your device won't see it. All icons must be declared. I can show you a few quick ways to fill out the drawable and icon_pack xmls, even the app filter when you get up to that point especially if you have a lot of names to put in.
[Android Themes] Eddicts:
Cool...appreciate it! How to?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Try something like this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51060741&postcount=166

Looks more complicated than it is but it will make life a lot easier. If you get stuck let me know.
[Android Themes] Eddicts:
Thanks man,but is it ok if i create my icons around 200x200?usually i did that to my previous work and its working but only with a Go Theme template..

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

ermm..one more,what should i put in those icon_pack.xml?drawable item or component info?sorry..i am new on this..and just started to learn

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

and btw..how did you add those two extras layout?:confused:
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
200x200 is ok I guess but the larger the png the bigger your overall icon pack file size will be.

I suggest you follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2399426

Yes, I added two extra buttons. All I need now is to figure out how to give them functions.
[Android Themes] Eddicts:
Yes i've been to that thread and still my icons doesn't show up.. :(
[Android Themes] MuSaddiq:
To make those buttons fuction, just add this in the xml code of the button

android:onClick="someMethod"

Now for example if you want to redirect users to antoher activity when the button is clicked then In the MainActivity.java, add this code

public void someMethod(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SomeActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
[Android Themes] Blaze:
public void contact(View view)

{

startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).setData(Uri.parse("your email id here")));

}

public void googleplus(View view)

{

startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).setData(Uri.parse("your g+ id here")));

}

Add this to your MainActivity.JAava. It must work...

P.S. import the missing intents...
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Ok cool, I got the Google+ element to work but I'm still getting FC's when clicking the contact button.

Here's what I have in my MainActivity.java

package com.vanessaem.FlowIcons;

import com.vanessaem.FlowIcons.LauncherActivity;
import com.vanessaem.FlowIcons.R;
import com.vanessaem.FlowIcons.Wallpaper;

import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.Window;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragmentActivity;

public class MainActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity {

[MENTION=439709]override[/MENTION]
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

}

public void makeToast(String msg) {
Context context = getApplicationContext();
CharSequence text = msg;
int duration = Toast.LENGTH_LONG;

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration);
toast.show();
}

public void instruction(View view)
{
startActivity(new Intent(this, LauncherActivity.class));
}
public void wallpaper(View view)
{
startActivity(new Intent(this, Wallpaper.class));

}
public void request(View view)
{
startActivity(new Intent(this, IconRequest.class));

}
public void contact(View view)
{
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).setData(Uri.parse("myname@gmail.com")));
}
public void googleplus(View view)
{
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).setData(Uri.parse("https://plus.google.com/u/0/+myname/posts")));
}
}

I'm thinking it's probably a syntax error.
[Android Themes] Blaze:
Try this,

add private Button contact; Just after the public class MainActivity extends Activity {

Now add this code for email:

contact = (Button) findViewById(R.id.contact);

email.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View v) {

try {

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);

String aEmailList[] = { "your email id here" };

emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, aEmailList);

emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Contact Me");

emailIntent.setType("plain/text");

startActivity(emailIntent);

}

catch (RuntimeException email) {

email.printStackTrace();

}

}

});

}
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I think this part of your instructions is what I'm missing,"add private Button contact." How do I do that also do I also remove this?

public void contact(View view)

{

startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).setData(Uri.parse("your email id here")));

}
[Android Themes] MuSaddiq:
Try this. I hope this one should work. :D

public void contact(View v) {

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL , new String[]{ "[B]your_email_here[/B]" });
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "[B]subject_here[/B]");
i.setType("plain/text");
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
[Android Themes] Blaze:
just add "private Button contact;" after the line I mentioned in the previous reply.

and yeah, remove that line..
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Woo hoo...this worked! Thanks a million. :D

Thanks for your help as well. It looks like I got everything working. Thanks again for the template. Again, I'm using the very first one you came out with. I'll try your newer versions at a later time. :)
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Is there any way of changing the Icon Request page font black? I managed to do it on the Apply Theme page.
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
anyone have apply intents for the following launchers?? Next, Holo, KitKat, Inspire, Atom, TSF, Solo...
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I can give you the one for Holo. Try:

public void applyholo(View apply){

Intent intent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.mobint.hololauncher","com.mobint.hololauncher.SettingsActivity"));

try{startActivity(intent);

//Toast Making Code
Toast.makeText(this,"Go To Appearance settings -> Icon Packs and select Simplicity plus from the list.",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}catch(ActivityNotFoundException e) {

//Dialogue Box Generating Code

AlertDialog.Builder holoDialog=new AlertDialog.Builder(this);

holoDialog.setTitle("HOLO NOT FOUND");
holoDialog.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert);
holoDialog.setMessage("Holo Launcher is currently not installed in your device. Visit market and install it?");
holoDialog.setPositiveButton("YES", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()

{
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialoginterface,int i)
{
Uri uri=Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.mobint.hololauncher");

Intent intent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,uri);

LauncherActivity.this.startActivity(intent);

}
});
holoDialog.setNegativeButton("NO", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int i)

{
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
holoDialog.show();
}
}
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
well that's the closest i've had to anything for Holo... thanks :D
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Lol no problem...even if it's not working in it's current state, I'm sure you can fiddle around with it and make work for you. That's the exact working code I'm using from Blaze's first template. :)
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
well i have it working except it just takes me to the settings page rather than directly to apply the theme... i'm looking through the code now to see if i can figure it out :)

all of this is going into an updated version of my template...
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Well, when you figure out how to do that, let us all know because that's the best we can do for Holo at this point but it's better than nothing...lol. :D
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
didn't get Holo working beyond that (which is fine with me)... I got Next launcher working... i'll share it later when i update my template... still looking for the others right now!
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Anyone have an answer to the above question?
[Android Themes] Tidzsi:
Ther is a link in the first pos for a guide how to make icon pack...

Thats works in holo.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Do you have a link?
[Android Themes] MuSaddiq:
I think that person is mean to say that it supports holo.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
What supports Holo?

I'm looking to change the font on the Icon Request page.
[Android Themes] MuSaddiq:
In layout/activity_icon_helper.xml

add color to this textview to change color of the text which appears on top in request section.

<TextView
android:id="@+id/textBox"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dp"
android:text="@string/tutorial"
android:textSize="15sp" />

In layout/app_info.xml

change color of this textview to change color of the app name which appears in the request section.

<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvAppName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="@+id/thumbnail"
android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/thumbnail"

android:text="@string/strApp_name"
android:textColor="#000"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:typeface="sans" />

Now change color of this textview to change color of the activity names which appears in the request section.

<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvCMP"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/tvAppName"
android:layout_below="@+id/tvAppName"
android:paddingTop="1dip"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="@string/strApp_cmp"
android:textColor="#68ffffff"
android:textSize="14sp" />
[Android Themes] Tidzsi:

Nothing Happens at Import to Eclispe

Reply to OP: (System won't let me post reply)

When I try to import the ActionBarSherlock-master directory (H:\Downloads\_Android\Themeing\IconpackTemplate\ActionBarSherlock-master) into Eclispe (Select All and then Finish) nothing happens - it just sits there. What do I do now.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
the1dynasty's tutorial video will show you how to import the ABS.
[Android Themes] captpete1:
Thanks, I'll check the video out when I have the time.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I edited my original link so that it takes you right to the part where he starts talking about importing the ABS.
[Android Themes] captpete1:
Imported with errors

I updated the ADT and finally was able to import ABS but got these errors:

[2014-04-17 21:53:29 - actionbarsherlock-i18n] Unable to resolve target 'android-14'
[2014-04-17 21:53:33 - SampleList] Unable to resolve target 'android-14'

Me thinks the "14" may be referring to API 14 for Android 4.0 (which I never used) so I'll update that section next.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Right click on your project. Go to Properties. Choose Android on the left site. On the right a you can see list of Android API versions. Choose the proper version (Android API 14). Click Apply then OK.

If you don't see the proper version go to Windows then to Android SDK Manager and download Android API 14. Then repeat the steps above.
[Android Themes] Blaze:
Err.. Sorry For That.. Here is the fix.

Go to res/layout/request_grid_item.xml and replace the path name with your icon pack's path name in line 6 and 90.
[Android Themes] captpete1:
Done - ABS imported w/o those errors. Now for the TemplateIconpack - more errors, looks like it want's API 18 (Android 4.3 - also one I never had) so back to SDK Manager. OK, TemplateIconpack imported.

Wonder what the little red x's are on 2 of the ABS entry's and TemplateIconpack. Should I be concerned? I'm not used to Eclipse - I used Net Beans for Java and non-Android cellphone development and porting.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Please try what I suggested earlier, now using API 18.

Little red x's can mean anything. What does the error messages say?
[Android Themes] captpete1:
Finally found some time to check out the video (I really dislike video tutorials - give me a text with screenshots so I don't have to rewind-play-rewind) - totally different than the OP - even the links to the zips are different - deleting and re-installing - we'll see how it goes.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
But what are you wanting to know? Do you have specific error messages? The portion of the video linked was for help importing the ABS, that was it really.

I believe the template in the OP is for people who know a little bit about Eclipse. If you don't anything, following the template instructions may be a bit difficult. This guide to understanding the basics of Eclipse is a good place to start. It's also a better place to ask specific questions about the program than this thread.
[Android Themes] captpete1:
Thanks, I'll get back to it when I have more time.
[Android Themes] puma9S:
Hello,

I've started using this Iconpack Template and I like it so far :)

Really good work!

However, I've already changed the background, the App Icon and edited drawable.xml and icon_pack.xml :)

The problem is that when I apply the Icons than it doesn't replace the icons with mine but it make all icons just small :confused:

Not sure how to discribe it better so I've just put screenshot in here

Hope you can help me :/

Thanks!
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Did you clear out all of the stock icons from the res folders including the res folders in the bin folder?
[Android Themes] puma9S:
There were no stock icons in the res folders, I've just checked again

so no, I didn't clear out :(
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Are you declaring your icons in drawable.xml and icon_pack.xml?

Also are they matching with what you have in the appfilter?

Example

appfilter.xml:

<!-- 9gag -->
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.ninegag.android.app/com.ninegag.android.app.ui.SplashScreenActivity}" drawable="ninegag"/>

icon_pack.xml:

<item>ninegag</item>

drawable.xml

<item drawable="ninegag"/>
[Android Themes] puma9S:
I'll check really quick but as far as I know they should match :D

just a second :)

EDIT: Yes, everything is like in your example!

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

In case you didn't see it [MENTION=2634634]vanessaem[/MENTION] :fingers-crossed:
[Android Themes] Vivek_Neel:
Did u add the Componentinfo for each app ?

Signature under construction.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
How about the icons are they matching what's the xml files?

Also, if possible can you link or show an example of all three of your xml files?
[Android Themes] puma9S:
I have to admit, I've copied it from another template.

However just checked it and you're right!

Some of them don't match, so one piece of the mystery is solved :laugh:

Now I need to know why it makes all icons that small :confused:

yes, they matching :)

Of course I will do this immediately!
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Component info as in what's in the appfilter.xml?

While we're on the appfilter.xml, please make sure your scale factor looks like this <scale factor="1" /> or whatever number you want it to be less than "1". That regulates the size of your unthemed apps. Whatever size you made your themed icons should be scaled to the size you created them.

What size are your icons?
[Android Themes] Vivek_Neel:
May be try increasing the

[b]scale factor

[/b]

In appfilter.XML

:)

Oh..I have been Meeped by [MENTION=2634634]vanessaem[/MENTION] :D

Signature under construction.
[Android Themes] puma9S:
Yes in appfilter :)

And now I found the issue :victory:

the scale was on "0.4" not sure why but there must be a reason for that :rolleyes:

Thank you very much you two! :) :)

Hopefully I can show my Icons here soon :)

However here's the screenshot anyway :)
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
The person must've wanted their unthemed icons to be similar in size to their themed icons. Hence the scale factor of "0.4".
[Android Themes] puma9S:
I see, sounds logically :)

thanks again! :)
[Android Themes] Blaze:
I copied the app filter from my minimal flat icon for pack. I used 0.4 scale factor for that icon pack..
[Android Themes] puma9S:
I see :)

This was kinda hard to realize for me haha but never mind, your template is still pretty noob friendly! :)

I guess the only difficulty for me was to understand that you need to edit the three xml files, especially this scale thing :laugh:

However, thank you very much for your template [MENTION=5139401]Blaze[/MENTION] :)

and thanks for the help [MENTION=2634634]vanessaem[/MENTION] & [MENTION=5022494]Vivek_Neel[/MENTION] :)

hi, it's me again :)

so everything's working now, I guess I figuered out the most things :)

But there is something I found out, a bug maybe,

so when I've installed the app it shows me "Done" and "Open"

when I tap on "Open" it shows me a all my icons with black background, I can tap on them but nothing happens.

This shows only right after the installation. :/

I see.. do you know if there's a way to disable it? :)

How to change the email in contact to my own address.

I have a question about this template. When you hit the contact button, or in the icon request tool, how do I make it go to my email instead of the one that is there now? I swear I looked in every single file and cant find it anywere. Right now it sends to sdeb1295. I want it to go to my email. ANy help would be greatly appriciated :) I'm trying this template out with one of my existing themes to see how my users will respond.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I'm not using the latest template but have you checked IconRequest.java?
[Android Themes] sTl2yk3l2:
Found the request email in the values folder in the request_strings. Xml. Now just need to find the one that comes up when you hit the contact category and I'll be good.

-=[.Stryker.Originals.]=-

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

Found it. It was in the main.java file. Thanks for the help guys. It pointed me in the right direction. Had to look again to find it. Sometimes looking at all these files is easy to overlook things.

-=[.Stryker.Originals.]=-
[Android Themes] Blaze:
I mentioned it in the 1st post itself on how to change the email Id.
[Android Themes] sTl2yk3l2:
Yeah thanks. I figured someone would answer my question quicker then it took me to read 26 pages of threads, or open every single xml and java file till i found it. I read at like a 1st grade level haha, now if there were 26 pages of pictures, I would of known the answer.

[Android Themes] Blaze:
just read the op. you will get answer to most of ur questions
[Android Themes] puma9S:
Just asking because of your "Signature: I abhor having it.:(" :laugh:

for the future, just use CTRL+H for searching through the whole project, this helped me a lot :)

There is even a thread here on xda for using this
[Android Themes] sTl2yk3l2:
I figured there had to be a search function in Eclipse. I was thinking to myself, if i could just enter the code im getting to find, this would be easy way easier. Now i know how to search. I'm good now. I used the 1 dynasty project that blaze removed stuff from it to make it a little simpler. I just need a few tasters, then i will update my market post. I did add full adw theme support to the template from my existing project. And added some missing apex things. So it changes everything in adw and apex. Thanks for the template by the way.

-=[.Stryker.Originals.]=-
[Android Themes] Blaze:
Some help with full adw and apex support will be appreciated.... I wanna dd them in my icon pack as well...
[Android Themes] sTl2yk3l2:
I'm trying to think how to do this. Basically apex was all there except the icons when you drag an app to the trash can or to uninstall and get info. Adw i added everything that you could possibly change to the existing project. I will make a zip of all the images and code that i added and pm it to you.

-=[.Stryker.Originals.]=-
[Android Themes] napster113:
Would you mind pm the zip as well please.
[Android Themes] asdfasdfvful:
Do you only need to add the code in the manifest for that? The latest The1dynasty template has some new additions to launcher support, and I believe design rift has some as well
[Android Themes] sTl2yk3l2:
No, there are images and code in a few different locations that need to be added. The templates work with adw all ready, but just the icons. There are other ui elements you can change. Adw has a template on there web site with a list of all the things that will change when you apply the theme. I like to have everything I can have changed in my themes, more then just icons. I haven't seen any themes but mine that change all the adw stuff. I'm sure there are some out there though. I only use my own themes, haven't used anyone else's themes in a few years. I like to run my own themes, when people use other artists work, they tend to copy or be heavily influenced by it. Like everyone copying that drop shadow design kovdev made. I like to make stuff no one has seen. But if you want to add the missing adw stuff just let me know.

-=[.Stryker.Originals.]=-
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I like to make themes no one has seen also. The long shadow has been used to death and it all stemmed from a Photoshop action that everyone decided to use. Unfortunately, the person who created said action has long been forgotten. :(
[Android Themes] sTl2yk3l2:
Don't get me wrong, the long shadow icons look nice, but they are just ran into the ground lol. i wonder who originally made the action? Might have to Google it.

-=[.Stryker.Originals.]=-
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Lol...that's what I'm saying. It's been overused.

I had the link to the original action but I'm not sure I still have it. I'll have to look.
