how to select a specific inflated textView and set style to it via code?










0















I have a CustomViewGroup with few textViews.



I want to create a themes "big" and "small" to change the first text size and margins.



How can i do this? as i have found 3 posts about themes and styles, but i think it's not possible when i have to set the style for just one textView (how do i select it specifically?)



1) I have seen this post



but wasn't sure if that's a usable syntax:



style="?textBody"



plus is it possible to setTheme to just current context? (In my current customView)



2) I have seen this post



but I don't understand how does each attribute linked to a specific view (say i have two text views and i want to change the style of just one of them)



or does that mean that any button will get this attribute?



<style name="Widget.ImageButton.Custom" parent="android:style/Widget.ImageButton">


3) I have seen this post which i undrestand you can set style only views only when creating them via code (not xml)

  • How is your CustomViewGroup created? Are both the parent and child views defined in the same XML file (e.g. <CustomViewGroup><TextView/><TextView/></CustomViewGroup>) or are you inflating them in the constructor of CustomViewGroup? Or something else entirely?
