I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab, Android version 3.2, that is displaying the default Button control much much darker. Android 3.2 doesn't do this in the emulator, it doesn't do it on a newer ICS tablet, it doesn't do it on any of our phones or in any version of the Android emulator. Has anyone encountered this? We are not doing anything to the button controls display wise. They are completely out of the box controls.
Is there a fix that doesn't require custom coloring all our button controls? We're kind of stuck, because we can't reproduce it anywhere but the tablet it's happening on is our final QA approver, and she's a stickler for this sort of thing (it's an enterprise app we're trying to get going).
Edit: Looks for sure like it's setting a transparency on the buttons that none of the other devices are, rather than using a different color.
Edit: Here is a screen shot. Specifically, the Submit Shipping Selection.

We have an Android application which works well on Android 4.1+ till Android 7.
Only in Android 5.0 and 5.1 we experience a difficult problem (on all devices + emulators).
The icons we use in our application turn completely black after hiding the software keyboard (when you are finished typing something in a textbox).
They stay black, even after restarting the application.
But after restarting the device (or closing the application by taskmanager), the icons are back normal (till you hide the keyboard again).
I don't find anything unusual in the code or icons and since it works in Android 4,6,7 it seems related to just Android 5.
Does someone has some idea at what the cause could be?
Disabling hardware-acceleration didn't have any effect.
This problem mainly occurs if you are using some other format of images like jpeg , use only png images also you might want to have a look at this answer
I'm working on an android app in Xamarin right now. I am about 95% done I would say. The only thing that's left is trying to get the emulator for the xxxhdpi (Nexus 6, LG G4, etc) to work. It only shows a black screen during start up.
I have my different drawable and value folders for the different dpi-denisties, and they all seem to work perfectly fine except for the xxxhdpi.
I'm fairly new to android development and stackoverflow, keep that in mind.
The problem seemed to be the upscaling of the drawable/values xxxhdpi folders. The textviews got WAY to big to fit the screen for some reason so I downscaled them.
I'm excited to roll out my first codename one app but I'm running into issues with the look of the program. On Netbeans my images great and my label backgrounds are appropriate. However, on my tablet, images have a background and my labels look odd.
The tablet image is from a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3.
Any idea how to fix this?

Use the Android build argument android.asyncPaint=true to use the newer rendering pipeline.
You would also need to test in the Android simulator to see the misalignment on the simulator as well. I'm assuming this is triggered by misuse of the layout managers.
I have a project that I am currently updating. In previous versions I have been able to select the title text, and it would react as part of the back button in the action bar. I currently have no icon in the actionbar by design and in previous versions the text was still interactive.
I tried implementing different layouts for varying screen sizes, however, since then on normal and small screen sized phones (tested: Samsung Galaxy S III Mini and Sony Xperia tipo) now only the back button ("<") reacts to touch.
The title text is still clickable on an Samsung Galaxy S4 and a Nexus 4. I have reverted the code back to how it was before I made those changes, along with trying code from last week to make sure nothing has changed, and the bug still occurs. I have tried other apps on the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini and the text in RedReader is clickable, so it's definitely app side, but I am not sure what has changed that will cause this.
I am currently at a loss as to why it is doing it. I've also attempted to update ActionBarSherlock to see if that may have caused an issue, but I am not sure what to try next.
Title on ActionBar is clickable from 4.2.2 version of Android. Before only < or icon.
If you have the need to implement this functionality in previous versions (including versions 2.x), you can use the ActionBarSherlock.
The library will automatically use the native action bar when appropriate or will automatically wrap a custom implementation around your layouts. This allows you to easily develop an application with an action bar for every version of Android from 2.x and up.

I'm working on an application for Samsung Galaxy 5 with Android 2.2-update1 that has various EditText fields and I noticed that all EditText fields below the middle of the screen is not repainted correctly when the user is typing: all the characters appear chopped, leaving their half top plain white. I've tested this on other devices and this problem does not happen on them.
Any clues on why this happen and/or any workaround for this for the Galaxy 5?
EDIT: This issue happens with the API Demos that comes with the Android SDK. To reproduce this error execute the demo and then follow: App-> Search-> Invoke Search -> click on App Data and start writing, only the lower half of each character will be rendered on screen.
Thanks!
