Default Style Fails for ViewPagerIndicator's TabPageIndicator. Why and How to Fix?

I have the same problem, but android:theme="@style/Theme.PageIndicatorDefaults" does not combine with my app theme.

There is another way to personalize, overwriting res/values/style.xml:

<resources>    <style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light" >        <item name="vpiTabPageIndicatorStyle">@style/CustomTabPageIndicator</item>    </style>    <style name="CustomTabPageIndicator" >        <item name="android:gravity">center</item>        <item name="android:background">@drawable/vpi__tab_indicator</item>                <item name="android:paddingTop">12dp</item>        <item name="android:paddingBottom">12dp</item>        <item name="android:textAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.TabPageIndicator</item>        <item name="android:textSize">15sp</item>        <item name="android:maxLines">1</item>        <item name="android:textColor">#FF555555</item>    </style></resources>

I feel like a bit of a moron, but here is the exceedingly simple and obvious solution.

AndroidManifest.xml

...<activity  android:name=".GalleryLists"  android:theme="@style/Theme.PageIndicatorDefaults"  ... ></activity>...

Yeah, all I needed to do was actually use the theme. Hopefully this will help some other poor lost soul.

A small addition to Michaels solution: in case you are using a custom theme for your Activity already, just add theese two lines to it:

<item name="vpiIconPageIndicatorStyle">@style/Widget.IconPageIndicator</item><item name="vpiTabPageIndicatorStyle">@style/Widget.TabPageIndicator</item>
