Sorry I am stupid... you want to use style="?android:buttonStyle" or
style="@android:style/Widget.Button". This is a style resource, which
contains a whole collection of related attributes. For Widget.Button
it looks something like this:
<style name="Widget.Button">
<item name="android:background">@android:drawable/btn_default</
item>
<item name="android:focusable">true</item>
<item name="android:clickable">true</item>
<item name="android:textAppearance">?android:attr/
textAppearanceSmallInverse</item>
<item name="android:textColor">?android:attr/
textColorBrightInverse</item>
<item name="android:gravity">center_vertical|
center_horizontal</item>
</style>
The textAppearance and textColor attributes are relevant to TextView,
so they will be ignored in the LinearLayout.
