Android - if I support Android 1.6, can I still use a Holo Theme for newer phones?

I have this in my manifest:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="15"/>

But I would like to use a HOLO theme or something similar.

I know HOLO theme requires Android 11, but what can I do if I want to have a nice unifying standard theme?

Thanks, Alex

Yes you can you just need to inherit different style, for instance in your

values/styles.xml

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

And in then create values-v11/styles.xml

  <style name="MyTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
        <!-- API 11 theme customizations can go here. -->
    </style>

You could use the Holo everywhere library, which is designed to easily backport Holo back to 1.6.

Yes you can still use the HOLO theme while the minimum SDK is less than 11. You will need to create a folder values-v4 and also folders for v5 through v10 and put your styles.xml in there.

For more see here.

Also read this to keep it in mind.
