How to apply two different styles to one element in android?

Issue

I have a TextView and I want to apply a Style which I use for all TextView elements plus another style which I only use within a specific Activity. Is there any possibility to do that?

Solution

A style under Android can have a parent style.

So just have MyActivityTextView define GeneralTextView as parent style, and change/add style properties.

Then you can use MyActivityTextView for some views and GeneralTextView for the others.

It's described in Defining Styles.
