Question

Actually i have two questions.

Question 1.
I have made a style for a TextView

http://pastebin.com/q9hj26JX (Couldn’t paste xml code here, it just went invisible)

To add this style i do:
http://pastebin.com/QdGmjQ0z

But instead of doint this, there must be a way to add this style to all the TextView in an activity? I have seen something like “Widget.TextView”, but i have not found any good tutorial or documentation on it yet.

So can someone please give me an example, if it is possible.

Now for question number 2:
I don’t get any intellisense while creating styles. Does it not exist for style creation?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Please red about THEMES in android http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/themes.html

The THEME is a style for whole activity and sets in Android Manifest.

Hope, it help you!

UPDATE:

Try this code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <style name="small_describing_text" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Medium">
        <item name="android:layout_width">fill_parent</item>
        <item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
        <item name="android:gravity">center_horizontal</item>
        <item name="android:layout_marginTop">0dp</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">10dp</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">#FF0000</item>
    </style>

    <style name="MyTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light">
        <item name="android:textViewStyle">@style/small_describing_text</item>
     </style>
</resources>

Don’t forget add this theme in Manifest for your activity!!!
