Question:
I have a listview with two labels, title and subtitle. I want to have dark and light background as user options. Title has textAppearanceMedium and subtitle has textAppearanceSmall. I want the style, MyTheme.Dark to have white color text and MyTheme.Light to have black color text. Is there a way to define multiple textAppearance attribute for the same TextView widget?
<style name="MyTheme.Dark"> <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/black</item> <item name="android:colorBackground">@color/black</item> <item name="android:background">@color/black</item> <item name="android:divider">@color/white</item> --cannot put textAppearance here since it is different for title and subtitle </style>
Solution:1
For future reference...
In values/themes.xml:
<style name="MyTheme.Dark"> <item name="textColorTitle">@color/white</item> </style> <style name="MyTheme.Light"> <item name="textColorTitle">@color/black</item> </style> In values/attrs.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <attr name="textColorTitle" format="reference|color" /> </resources> In layout/my_list_row.xml, use textColorTitle value for your text color, like this:
android:textColor="?textColorTitle" Let me know if it doesn't work. It works for me.

I'm a beginner with Android myself and I'm not sure if I'm not making an ass of myself here, but why don't you use the android:textColor property?
<style name="MyTheme.Dark"> <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/black</item> <item name="android:colorBackground">@color/black</item> <item name="android:background">@color/black</item> <item name="android:divider">@color/white</item> <item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item> </style>

I think best way is to have different layout xml for different colors and themes. Load the layout xml based on user choice. I do not like this but I have not found any alternatives.
