Set a values folder for multiple android sdk versions

Question

I would like to set a values folder for multiple sdk verions to set a theme for everything under sdk 19. I have tried doing: ``` protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 19) { getApplication().setTheme(R.style.HomeTheme4); } super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_launch_screen); [.....] } ``` But this doesnt seem to set the theme For the whole app. Thank you in advance.

Accepted Answer

you could place your theme that you want to use for API-19 and above inside the folder:

```
/values-v19
```

and the default values folder then will handle everything below API-19:

```
/values
```

see related android resource qualifiers documentation.
