Body
<p>I've set a default theme for the whole app. It's defined in styles.xml as follows:</p> <pre><code> <style name="DefaultTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">  </style> </code></pre> <p>I've also defined a dark theme:</p> <pre><code> <style name="DarkTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo">  </style> </code></pre> <p>In the manifest it is declared the light theme as the main theme for the app:</p> <pre><code> <application ... android:theme="@style/DefaultTheme" > </code></pre> <p>Now this is working fine, but in an activity, I need to set a different theme for a single Layout. Something like this:</p> <pre><code> +--------------------------------------------------+ | Parent Linear layout (default theme) | | | | +------------------------------------+ +-------+ | | | | | | | | | Left linear layout | | | | | | (default theme) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ·<----------- Right Linear Layout | | | | | | (Need it in dark theme) | | | | | | | | | | | | | +------------------------------------+ +-------+ | +--------------------------------------------------+ </code></pre> <p>In the layout xml file I'm trying to set a theme for the rightmost child LinearLayout:</p> <pre><code> <LinearLayout style="@style/DarkTheme"> ... </code></pre> <p>I'd expect this to work just fine, and to apply the dark theme to the right layout only (and its child views), but it is not working. I've tried replacing the @style with a built-in @android:style to no avail. I've tested this in the layout editor and on real device/simulator.</p> <p>Is it possible to apply a custom theme or style to a single layout?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
