The style you have defined is the style of a -text appearance. Not a theme. Not even a text view style, as you are trying to use it as. It is only happenstance that it is kind-of getting what you want in your original attempt.
The style attribute takes a style for the entire text view. That is, it should inherit from something like @android:style/Widget.TextView -- http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.style.html#Widget_TextView A theme defines the attributes used across the entire window. It is an extremely complicated style structure, inheriting from @android:style/Theme or one of its substyles (Theme.Light etc). The set of attributes in a theme can be found here: http://developer.android.com/intl/de/reference/android/R.styleable.html#Theme Note that there are a bunch of attributes for the standard styles of various controls, which should be populated with references to other style resources containing the appropriate style for that control -- for example android:textViewStyle should be a reference to a style inheriting from android:style/Widget.TextView. Finally you should set your theme in your manifest, with the android:theme attribute.
