Thanx for the hint with the Theming. That looks interesting. But not
for the problem i had. ;-)
I'm always passing the Activity context. I don't know which context i
should pass anyway. what does the context do? can you do fancy things
by passing other contexts? are there other context at all?
i managed to make the List look good by passing the right parameter to
the setTextAppearance() method:
tv.setTextAppearance(ctx, android.R.style.TextAppearance_Large);
however, there are still a few things that don't work as expected. is
there a tutorial about creating GUIs without XML? any other resources
where i can learn about how the Android XML-Parser build the GUI? I
think Google should at last open the source. that would help a lot, i
think. I have doubts that it ever will by openend anyway...
