Is there any way to make a style inherit from multiple other styles, instead of just being limited to:
<style name="WidgetTextBase">
<item name="android:typeface">serif</item>
<item name="android:textSize">12dip</item>
<item name="android:gravity">center</item>
</style>
<style name="BOSText" parent="WidgetTextBase">
<item name="android:textColor">#051C43</item>
</style>
I would like BOSText to also inherit from:
<style name="WidgetTextHeader">
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
<style>
No, styles do not support multiple inheritance (at least not as of Android 3.2).
You can only inherit one style. However, you can also make the inherited style inherit from another style, and so on:
<style name="WidgetTextBase">
<item name="android:typeface">serif</item>
<item name="android:textSize">12dip</item>
<item name="android:gravity">center</item>
</style>
<style name="WidgetTextHeader" parent="WidgetTextBase">
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
</style>
<style name="BOSText" parent="WidgetTextHeader">
<item name="android:textColor">#051C43</item>
</style>
You can't inherit more than one style, but you can set up an inheritance chain.
There is a parent attribute on the style tag that should let you inherit from other styles...
i.e.
<style name="CodeFont" parent="@style/WidgetTextBase">
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
</style>
