title: Apply a style on a EditTextView in android
body: <p>i am trying to specify and set a style for a specific android view component in which this case is a EditText.</p>
  
  <p>here is the style i am trying to apply a global set of styles</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;!-- style for the action bar backgrounds --&gt;
  &lt;style name="MyActionBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar"&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:background"&gt;@color/lightBlue&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:paddingBottom"&gt;0dip&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  
  
  &lt;style name="ActivityStyleYellow"&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:background"&gt;@color/brightYellow&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:textViewStyle"&gt;@style/textViewYellow&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:actionBarStyle"&gt;@style/MyActionBar&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:text"&gt;@style/editTextYellow&lt;/item&gt;
  
  &lt;/style&gt;
  
   &lt;style name="ActivityStyleBlue"&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:background"&gt;@color/lightBlue&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:actionBarStyle"&gt;@style/MyActionBar&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:textViewStyle"&gt;@style/textViewBlue&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:EditTextViewStyle"&gt;@style/editTextBlue&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And here is the styles for my view components on a seperate xml file</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;style name="textViewBlue" parent="@android:style/Widget.TextView"&gt;
              &lt;item name="android:textColor"&gt;@color/darkBlue&lt;/item&gt;
                &lt;item name="android:paddingBottom"&gt;@dimen/text_padding&lt;/item&gt;
          &lt;/style&gt;
  
          &lt;style name="textViewYellow" parent="@android:style/Widget.TextView"&gt;
              &lt;item name="android:textColor"&gt;@color/darkYellow&lt;/item&gt;
                &lt;item name="android:paddingBottom"&gt;@dimen/text_padding&lt;/item&gt;
          &lt;/style&gt;
  
          &lt;style name="editTextBlue" parent="@android:style/Widget.EditText"&gt;
              &lt;item name="android:paddingBottom"&gt;@dimen/text_padding&lt;/item&gt;
              &lt;item name="android:textStyle"&gt;bold&lt;/item&gt;
              &lt;item name="android:textColor"&gt;@color/darkBlue&lt;/item&gt;
          &lt;/style&gt;
  
       &lt;style name="editTextYellow" parent="@android:style/Widget.EditText"&gt;
          &lt;item name="android:paddingBottom"&gt;@dimen/text_padding&lt;/item&gt;
          &lt;item name="android:textStyle"&gt;bold&lt;/item&gt;
          &lt;item name="android:textColor"&gt;@color/darkYellow&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The issue is this line:   @style/editTextYellow</p>
  
  <p>android:EditTextViewStyle doesnt exist and i cant find any reference to it. i assumed it will be that because i also assumed what the textViewStyle was and that worked.</p>
  
  <p>i couuld not find a define list of what android:xxx styles are valid but i suppose editText should surely be?</p>
  
  <p>Is there a list to show what components i can use for "android:xxx"? i basically want to apply to a particular View component type.</p>
  
  <p>is this possible for editText?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks </p>
