Widget and Android

Hi guys,

I’m using the widget api a lot but recently expired som issues targeting Android devices.

In my simulator and on iPhones it looks great. But on an Android device my widget get a different look. On example is my buttons where I only use a font as text. In simulator and on iOS it looks right. On Android it gets a grayish box behind my text. 

How do I fix this? Do I need to make images of all my buttons?

    buttonPlay = widget.newButton

        {

            left = 70,            

            top =  display.contentHeight - 70,

            id = “button1”,

            label = “Start”,

            labelColor = { default={ 1, 1, 1 }, over={ 0, 0, 0, 0.5 } },

            font = ‘Cheri’,

            emboss = true,

            fontSize = 40,

            onEvent = playButtonEvent

        }

The widgets detect the device you’re on and tries to give you a theme that matches the device’s native objects.  On Android that’s what a button looks like.  You could always tell it to explicitly use the iOS 7 theme to get borderless buttons.

I see, do you have any examples how to do that?
