Setting Style of underlying TextViews in style.xml

Question

How is it possible to set the Style of a TextView Child of a LinearLayout via style. Something like this:

<style name="MyLinearayoutStyle" parent="MyParentStyle">
    <item name="android:background">@drawable/mybackground</item>
    <item name="android:padding>5dp</item>
    // Here i need to define my textview style
</style>


<style name="MyTextViewStyle> parent="AnotherParentStyle">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/Black</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">15sp</item>
</style>

I tried android:TextAppearance and android:textStyle, but this didnt work.

Answer 1

Change the theme definition ((stored in res/values/styles.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<resources>   
<style name="MyTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light">    
    <item name="android:textAppearance">@style/MyDefaultTextAppearance</item> 
</style>    
     <style name="MyDefaultTextAppearance" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">    
     <item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>     
    <item name="android:textColor">#333</item>    
     <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>   
    </style> 
    </resources>

Answer 2

Inflate your TextView for example:

*textview.xml*

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView 
 style="@+style/MyLinearayoutStyle"
 />

and

activity.getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.textview,(parent view), true);
