How set ICS theme for application with minSDK 7?

could anybody tell me how can I set a theme for my application which will change when version of Android will change. For example if anybody will use my app on Android 2.1 theme will look like this: http://daily-money.googlecode.com/svn/wiki/img/prefs.png

But if anybody will use my app on for example Android 4.0.3 theme will look like this: http://img.tapatalk.com/dcff019c-27ba-1e1a.jpg I have used minSDK 7.

Thank you.

@letroll, what parameter do you pass to setTheme? Does it require increasing min sdk to 13 to make the SDK available?

What you want is detailed in on this page: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2012/01/holo-everywhere.html

In the section titled "Defaults for Older Apps"

You setup 2 theme files, one in the values directory and one in the values-v11 directory. Then you reference that theme file in the Manifest. As outlined in the page I linked above. You need ALL THREE blocks of XML outlined on that page under the "Using Holo while supporting Android 2.x" section.

first get the version of android running on the device :

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) {

....

en after you can use setTheme(..) before calling setContentView(...)and super.oncreate() and it should work fine
