Android set background color of preference category

android, background-color, preferenceactivity

Solution

Custom a layout file with your background color, set it in your PreferenceCategory:

<PreferenceCategory
    android:layout="@layout/your_layout">

Problem

I try to customize the background color of preference categories. I already changed the background color of a preferences itself but I can't find a way how to change the the categories background color. I found two ways but they don't works for me: changing the preference category label color background Through this link, i found this, but nothing I've tried worked for me. These layout snippet is what I've tried so far: ``` <resources> <style name="setBackgroundTheme" parent="android:Theme"> <item name="android:background">@color/darkbluelogo</item> </style> </resources> ``` In `onCreate` method I set the theme with: ``` setTheme(R.style.setBackgroundTheme); ```
