Is there a way how to generate style from XML attributes so I don't have to manually copy paste 1 by 1? When I prototype, I use the "inline" styles then I want to export styles into styles.xml but manually it is time consuming task. It is just different format, should be easy to automate.
<ImageView
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_height="47dp"/>
into
<ImageView
style="@style/h2_image"/>
<style name="h2_image">
<item name="android:layout_width">80dp</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">47dp</item>
</style>
Defining Styles This XML file resides under res/values/ directory of your project and will have <resources> as the root node which is mandatory for the style file.
To define a style, save an XML file in the /res/values directory of your project. The root node of the XML file must be <resources> .
Styles in Android allow you to define the look and feel, for example colors and fonts, of Android components in XML resource files. This way you have to set common style attributes only once in one central place.
You have to create a value folder with values-v21 caption. and create style. xml file in this with the same name as values folder like styles. xml.
Very Simple.!
Just keep the cursor in the file from where you want to extract the style resource. Just a right click then click on refactor.
Refactor -> Extract -> style/layout.
Then give style a name and there you go..! For more you can refer the documentation.
