Apply style on Text

To create our own style, create a XML file /res/values/style.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<resources>

    <style name="mystyle">

		<item name="android:layout_width">fill_parent</item>

		<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>

		<item name="android:textColor">#A0A0A0</item>

		<item name="android:typeface">monospace</item>

    </style>

    <style name="mystyle.20dp">

		<item name="android:textSize">20dp</item>

    </style>

    <style name="mystyle.30dp">

		<item name="android:textSize">30dp</item>

    </style>

    <style name="mystyle.20dp.bold">

		<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>

    </style>

</resources>

Then, we can refer it in our layout, main.xml. Android also pre-defined some style for using.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:orientation="vertical"

    android:layout_width="fill_parent"

    android:layout_height="fill_parent"

    >

<TextView  

    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 

    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 

    android:text="@string/hello"

    />

<TextView  

	style="@style/mystyle" 

    android:text="mystyle"

    />

<TextView  

	style="@style/mystyle.20dp" 

    android:text="mystyle.20dp"

    />

<TextView  

	style="@style/mystyle.20dp.bold"

    android:text="mystyle.20dp.bold"

    />

<TextView  

	style="@style/mystyle.30dp" 

    android:text="mystyle.30dp"

    />

<TextView  

    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 

    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 

	style="@android:style/TextAppearance"

    android:text="Android build-in style: TextAppearance"

    />

<TextView  

    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 

    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 

    android:background="@android:color/background_light"

	style="@android:style/TextAppearance.Inverse"

    android:text="Android build-in style: TextAppearance.Inverse"

    />

<TextView  

    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 

    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 

	style="@android:style/TextAppearance.Small"

    android:text="Android build-in style: TextAppearance.Small"

    />

<TextView  

    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 

    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 

	style="@android:style/TextAppearance.Medium"

    android:text="Android build-in style: TextAppearance.Medium"

    />

<TextView  

    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 

    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 

	style="@android:style/TextAppearance.Large"

    android:text="Android build-in style: TextAppearance.Large"

    />    

</LinearLayout>
