Android usage

You will need to add some color definitions to your android project (if using cordova < 11, create a file named colors.xml inside platforms/android/app/src/res/values)

<color name="colorPrimary">#008577</color>
<color name="colorPrimaryDark">#00574B</color>
<color name="colorAccent">#D81B60</color>
<color name="page_indicator">#C0202020</color>
<color name="toolbar">#C0202020</color>

If you do not have a colors.xml file, this is a full example

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
    <color name="colorPrimary">#008577</color>
    <color name="colorPrimaryDark">#00574B</color>
    <color name="colorAccent">#D81B60</color>
    <color name="page_indicator">#C0202020</color>
    <color name="toolbar">#C0202020</color>
</resources>
