Issue
As I asked in the title, is there any way to do so?
Now, when I put all styles into one file it looks a little crowded, I would like to separate styles.
For example:
res/values/styles_for_main_screen
res/values/styles_for_set_screen
And then in main_screen layout
<TextView
style="@styles_for_main_screen/text_view_custom_style">
</TextView>
This example obviously doesn't work, but it shows what I'd like to achieve.
I read in every tutorial that we need to put our custom styles into styles.xml
file, but I wonder if there is a possibility to diversify styles in few xml files?
Every question I read was something like "how to do .... in styles.xml".
I can't find question similar to mine.
Example how it should be done, thanks @Frank N. Stein for the answer:
This how looks my custom xml res/values/styles_for_main_screen
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="custom_back">
<item name="android:background">#E81C1C</item>
<item name="android:text">whatr</item>
</style>
</resources>
and then to retrieve this style I just write:
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
style="@style/custom_back"
/>
so the convention looks like:
style="@(what I want to retrieve)/(name of style)"
from the android developers site
In XML: @[package:]style/style_name
Solution
You can call your style files whatever you want (if you respect the naming conventions and you put them all in the values folder/s), as you do with strings and colors.
Therefore, YES! You can have multiple ones, if so you desire.
Obviously, you will NOT specify the path to each file.
Referencing the style/s by using R.style.your_new_style
is enough.
