Code Block 1: I have the below code in view.xml
<TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="#00FF00" android:typeface="monospace" android:text="@string/hello" />
Code Block 2: Now I want to move it to a styling like this.
<TextView style="@style/CodeFont" android:text="@string/hello" />
Code Block 3: In my styles.xml file, I want to have this.
<resources> <style name="CodeFont" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Medium"> <item name="android:layout_width">fill_parent</item> <item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item> <item name="android:textColor">#00FF00</item> <item name="android:typeface">monospace</item> </style> </resources>
Wrapping all those attributes in an <item name="XXX"/>
tag is a very manual and annoying process. Does Android Studio have some type of wizardry to automatically convert the attributes from code block 1 into the item tags from code block 3?

Create and apply a style To create a new style or theme, open your project's res/values/styles. xml file. For each style you want to create, follow these steps: Add a <style> element with a name that uniquely identifies the style.
