@alberto have you looked at themedRelativeLayout(). Anko convention seems to be to have a themed version of all the views which takes a theme resourceID

[alberto]

Thanks Nick, what about the style? How would you implement that XML RelativeLayout?

[spragg]

You can apply styles recursively like this. https://gist.github.com/vsouhrada/f851f213c82c72b6ae8afa5184a8bdca

I need to be able to apply style as a reference like in my example "?defaultStyle" Would I be able to do it with applyRecursively ?

[spragg]

I was just looking into that. I have not done that myself so I am not sure. applyRecursively would require you to translate your style reference into anko.

[alberto]

mm I can't do that because it's a reference based on the theme context.

[alberto]

I could have another Layout with a different reference for the theme and a different ?defaultStyle style, based on that theme.

[spragg]

https://github.com/Kotlin/anko/issues/16 — it looks like the way it has been implemented it to pass it through in the theme in the view. e.g. themedRelativeLayout(R.style.defaultStyle)

[alberto]

In this case there is no distinction between theme or style, which I reckon is wrong...

[spragg]

Yep.

[alberto]

Too bad... Thanks for your time anyway!

[spragg]

no problem. Sorry I couldn’t help
