title: Android Textview background takes on layout background colour
body: <p>I have set the background of a RelativeLayout to the colour black. Unfortunately, all the EditText's within my layout have now also turned black (so that I can't see the text as the text is black). Obviously I could change the text colour, but that's not what I want. I can't work out how to get the EditText's back to the default style.</p>
