I need to create a custom button control that will inherit from the same Android style as all other buttons in my application. However, I want to be able to add several lines of text where some characters of the text will be in different colors. Is there anyway to achieve this, I can’t seem to see a way?
Currently I have created a view that looks like a button by drawing the background, this is ok but I want the background etc to change with the application style.
You should make your button descend from the generic theme for
Widget.Button. This way you can ensure that all the default settings will come through for you.
