How do I inherit from default Android style in my custom styles.xml?

问题

I am currently using this custom styles layout for my EditTexts defined in 'styles.xml':

<style name="Form_EditView">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/large_text_size</item>
    <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/white</item>
    <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/pink</item>
    <item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/pink</item>
</style>

However now my dilemma occurs as I have a TextView that I would like to be styled like a default Android EditText but then to also apply my above custom styling. The default Android style is the one displayed below:

style="@android:style/Widget.EditText"

I know that inheritance is possible in layout styles files but how do I go about inheriting from Android default styles in my custom styles, to achieve something similar to this:

<style name="Widget.EditText.Form_EditView">

回答1:

The simplest way to inherit some other style - is to use parent attribute:

<style name="Form_EditView" parent="@android:style/Widget.EditText">

As @Bobby StJacques pointed out, if you want to inherit styles you defined (not built-in Android ones), you can use the following form:

<style name="Form_EditView.SomeCustomizedEditView">
    ....
</style>

In this case you inherit your already defined Form_EditView
