While looking through the built in Android themes/styles I noticed references to textColorPrimary, textColorSecondary etc. I would like to implement this in to my own theme but cannot find any way of setting a textview (or any view) to “primary” or “secondary” etc.

Am I overlooking something or is it not possible to be done?

    The references you’re seeing to “textColor_____” are references to color selectors. You use them with a line like ‘android:textColor=”?android:textColorSecondary”‘ in the xml definition of your TextView.

    See this for more detail:
