How to use the "Action Bar Style Generator" with ActionBarSherlock?

Question

I don’t understand what should I do in my project when I uploaded my .zip to the awesome tool http://jgilfelt.imtqy.com/android-actionbarstylegenerator/

I have all the resources, but I think I need to make some changes to my .xml and themes.xml styles in addition to placing these resources in my project?

My resource suffix is ​​* _test

Thanks so much for your answers :)

It depends on what you did before, before using the generator.

The generator should have provided you with styles_test.xml files, possibly in res/values/ and res/values-v14/ . They will determine the theme, Theme.Test .

If at present your theme for your application (or individual actions) in the manifest is a standard ActionBarSherlock theme (e.g. Theme.Sherlock ), just change it to the link to your newly created Theme.Test , and you should be good to go.

If, on the other hand, you have already worked on a custom theme for other things, then you need to decide for yourself how best to combine what is found in Theme.Test into your own theme. For example, you might have your custom Theme.Test theme as the parent theme.
