When you do so, every View within the Activity or application will apply each property that it supports. For example, if you apply the CodeFont style from the previous examples to an Acti...
Is it normal, that styles and includes don't have any effect in preview in Eclipse? The more I get into Layout building the less I can use the preview. Even in the newest SDK Version it's so poorly made. ...
I try to implement a hover effect (effect when button is pressed) through putting a semi transparent PNG file on top of the button background and the button icon.

In this case, I want to have i...
I use Layout_width="fill_parent" and Layout_height="wrap content". If an image is bigger than the ImageView, it will be downscaled perfectly. However, I never got it working to upscale smaller images. I tried any combination of ScaleType and "AdjustViewBounds": it always stays in its own size in the middle of the image view. Here is t...
