Modify theme of a ListFragment to be different from the activity?

Basically I want to set my activity's theme in the manifest as follows:

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"

And I want my activity to load up a ListFragment with the theme, Theme.Holo.Dialog (defined in my own style), however I 开发者_StackOverflow中文版can't just call setStyle(....) in my fragment as I could if it were a DialogFragment.

I believe that I should be able to use a ContextThemeWrapper but I'm having trouble understanding the calls I need to make. So far in my onCreateView I have:

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    LayoutInflater newInflater = inflater.cloneInContext(new ContextThemeWrapper(getActivity(), R.style.DialogThemeSelector));
    View inflatedView = newInflater.inflate(R.layout.favourites_print, container, false);
    .....

But this is not working. Thanks in advance. Peter.

*Edit * Posting style:

<style name="DialogThemeSelector" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Dialog"/>

Try getting a new LayoutInflater instead of converting the provided one, like so:

Context newContext = new ContextThemeWrapper(getActivity(), R.style.DialogThemeSelector);
LayoutInflater newInflater = (LayoutInflater) newContext.getSystemService(Activity.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View inflatedView = newInflater.inflate(R.layout.favourites_print, container, false);

If that doesn't work, I would suspect that there may be something missing in your style.

I just do it the naive way: I define my list item layouts in XML, using the style attribute, and it seems to work. My list items are not so much concerned with whether they are in a fragment or not. I have not tried styling the fragment itself, but since the list items are the only thing in it, styling them seems sufficient.

Try to use requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); instead of android: theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"

And put in the manifest targetSdkVersion="14" for use Theme.Holo.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but can't you just set the theme in the manifest for the activity that holds the listfragment?

Edit: After looking into it my best advice is to look at the source of dialogfragment and try to replicate the behavior in your own customfragment.

Start your fragment up in a new fragmentactivity =/
