Example Navbar Theme

This repo contains an example theme for Custom Navigation Bar

This document will explain the theme format.

A theme consists of

• Intent filter
• Theme Manifest
• Drawables

Intent filter

Custom Navigation Bar search for themes by searching for activities can responds to the action xyz.paphonb.systemuituner.THEME

This can be easily done by adding the following intent filter in your activity.

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="xyz.paphonb.systemuituner.THEME" />
</intent-filter>

Theme manifest

Theme informations can be specified in res/xml/themes.xml

The file must have theme-package as a root element.

A theme-package consists of themes. There can be more than one theme in one theme-package

A theme must have a title attribute, which points to a string resource. Hard-coded strings are not supported.

<theme title="@string/theme_name">

Drawables

Replacement drawables can be placed in a theme.

<item name="to_be_replaced" drawable="@drawable/replacement" />

Currently supported drawable replacements are

• ic_sysbar_back for back button
• ic_sysbar_home for home button
• ic_sysbar_recent for recent button

Final result

A final theme manifest can look like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<theme-package>
    <theme title="@string/theme_name">
        <item name="ic_sysbar_back" drawable="@drawable/themed_ic_sysbar_back" />
        <item name="ic_sysbar_home" drawable="@drawable/themed_ic_sysbar_home" />
        <item name="ic_sysbar_recent" drawable="@drawable/themed_ic_sysbar_recent" />
    </theme>
</theme-package>
