How can i change control palette (2.3) to new 4.0.0 in Android

Question

I started developing an application on api level 2.3 (2 years ago), now i change the targetSDKVersion to 14 because i'd like to update the look of application.

I set: project.properties --> Taget= android-14 manifest android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="14" /> Android layout version to rendering layout to 14

What did i forget ? What is need to done to change palette to new design?

Have you checked Value-11 style xml

Replace all...

<resources>

    <!--
        Base application theme for API 11+. This theme completely replaces
        AppBaseTheme from res/values/styles.xml on API 11+ devices.
    -->
    <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
        <!-- API 11 theme customizations can go here. -->
    </style>

</resources>

and in Values-14 folder xml

Replace all..

<resources>

    <!--
        Base application theme for API 14+. This theme completely replaces
        AppBaseTheme from BOTH res/values/styles.xml and
        res/values-v11/styles.xml on API 14+ devices.
    -->
    <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- API 14 theme customizations can go here. -->
    </style>

</resources>

and then clean your all project and let me know.

No changes, did you change something else tu ? – user3375032 Jul 24 '14 at 05:32 — user3375032, Jul 24 '14 at 05:32

Dude check in your MANIEFEST file <application> tag there is one property of that called "android:Theme" or if that not presend then write this line or present then replace with that android:theme="@style/AppBaseTheme" sample

 <application
        android:allowBackup="false"
        android:allowTaskReparenting="true"
        android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppBaseTheme" > //This line will change

And make sure this line present in Your res->Values-> styles :

<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light"/>
