Sure

Open your res/values/themes.xml file (or create it) and enter this code:

Code: Select all

<style name="MyCustomStyle" parent="@android:style/Theme">
   <item name="android:textColorPrimary">#00000000</item>
</style>


Open AndroidManifest.xml file and change

Code: Select all

<activity android:name="MyActivity"></activity>

in

Code: Select all

<activity android:name="MyActivity" android:theme="@style/MyCustomStyle"></activity>


Thank you so much rciovati.. dat worked perfectly well... thanks....

This was a great tutorial and I now have it working in one part of my code, thanks. What I don't know how to do is to implement it with my own custom adapter. My adapter changes fonts, changes icons etc. Could you explain how to use the AlphabetIndexer with a custom adapter please?

I'm having trouble with this.

My case is slightly different than the example.

My user has a button that toggles between 2 different sort methods. I only want to use the AlphabetIndexer when the sorting method is set to alpha.

The only difference between this example and my application is that I create a new instance of AlphabetIndexer in the changeCursor() handler of my SimpleCursorAdapter (if the sort method is set to alpha). If the sort method is not alpha, I null the AlphabetIndexer and set fast scrolling to false.

I've stepped through the code and it is hitting the block to enable fast scrolling and create the AlphabetIndexer, but nothing happens on my device...
