Android - How to programmatically set the button style in a Linearlayout?

Question

I am programmatically creating a LinearLayout for an AlertDialog with some buttons.

I WANT to do this:

<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/footer" android:layout_width="fill_parent" style="@android:style/ButtonBar"> 

But with code like this:

LinearLayout buttons = new LinearLayout(parentContext); buttons.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL); LinearLayout.LayoutParams buttonsParams =     new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,     LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); topLayout.addView(buttons, buttonsParams); buttons.setLayoutParams(buttonsParams); Button btnAdd = new Button(context); btnAdd.setText("Add"); 

How can I set the style of the buttons (use a button bar) programmitically?

Answer 1

Well, Styles can be applied to a View at initialization phase. For example:

LinearLayout button = new LinearLayout(context, null, android.R.style.ButtonBar); 

Answer 2

This worked for me:

int buttonStyle = R.style.your_button_style; Button button = new Button(new ContextThemeWrapper(context, buttonStyle), null, buttonStyle)
