Hello there,
I want an EditText to look like TextView but still behave like
EditText. I've tried applying TextView style to my EditText in my
layout.xml file, like this:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/lipsum"
android:text="Lorem ipsum"
android:style="@android:style/Widget_TextView"
/>
..but I get an error within xml editor: "Error: No resource found that
matches the given name (at 'style' with value '@android:style/
Widget_TextView')." It is strange because @android:style/
Widget_TextView definitively exists - I double checked it in code via
android.R.style.Widget_TextView. Another strange thing is that I don't
get android:style offered in the xml editor while typing? There is
android:id, android:text and everything else.. but not
android:style?!
Note: I consider the hard way (making EditText look like TextView) to
be: extending EditText and overriding it's onDraw method.

Why are id and style written without android: namespace?
