android dynamically change style at runtime

Question

I'd like to make my font sizes configurable but i'd also like to make use of the style tag in my layouts. Is it possible to change the definition of a style at runtime? or is the only option to manually change the individual style elements on each textview etc.?

I'm not sure if this will work in your case, but you can create themes that define your styles. There's Activity.setTheme() which you pass in a theme XML file. The theme contains a bunch of definitions.

I've only used it to override certain global styles, like background color, I don't know if you can use it to define styles that your widgets will use. It's worth giving it a shot though. If it works, please let me know!
