Styling the calculator - maltaisn/calcdialoglib GitHub Wiki

Many attributes are provided to style the dialog's views, colors, dimensions and texts.

You can change attribute in your app's styles.xml

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="calcDialogStyle">@style/CustomCalcDialogStyle</item>
</style>

<!-- Your calculator dialog theme -->
<style name="CustomCalcDialogStyle" parent="CalcDialogStyle">
    <!-- You can customize the dialog's style here -->
    <!-- This line changes the dialog's maximum height -->
    <item name="calcDialogMaxHeight">300dp</item>

    <!-- These lines change the style of operation buttons -->
    <item name="calcOperationBtnStyle">@style/CustomCalcOperationBtnStyle</item>
    <item name="calcOperationBtnColor">#000000</item>
</style>

<style name="CustomCalcOperationBtnStyle" parent="CalcOperationBtnStyle">
    <!-- Don't forget to specify the parent! -->
    <item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>
</style>
