Re: [android-developers] Re: Where is the View.setStyle() method?
Also you can pass a style resource in to the constructor. There is no setStyle() method because you can't change the style after the view is initialized.

[android-developers] Re: Where is the View.setStyle() method?
Ah well, is there any better and new way of setting pixel sizes at least for a view? For example, my two styles had different image widths: // style1: layout_width="25dip" // style2: layout_width="50dip" Doing something like this: myView.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(50, 50)); would not set the sizes in dip, scaled for the current device display specifics. I could grab the device density and scale myself, but are there any other better ways of doing this? Like if I could read the values from my styles in styles.xml and let it rescale for me? I doubt it, but just wondering if there's some way to utilize the dip system, Thanks On Sep 3, 2:51 pm, Mark Murphy wrote: > On Fri, Sep 3, 2010 at 5:42 PM, Mark Wyszomierski wrote: > > Is there a way to set a style for a View at runtime? > > Not that I am aware of, sorry. > > -- > Mark Murphy (a Commons > Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://github.com/commonsguyhttp://commonsware.com/blog|http://twitter.com/commonsguy > > _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.1 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
