Thank you.
Can you please help me understand what is the difference between:
<test.MyButton android:id="@+id/my_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" style="@style/MyButton" />
with this:
<test.MyButton android:id="@+id/my_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
one is with 'style' attribute and one is without?
If I don't specified, where will android get the 'style' for my widget?
And how can I put the default style for my widget? i.e. It will use
'@style/MyButton' when i don't specify anything?
Thank you.
