android : Textview Set Style in runtime

Question

Possible Duplicate:
android : set textView style at runtime

i just wanna know how i can implement style in runtime i saw some posts here but i couldnt find anything properly

i create a new Textview , like this

TextView title = TextView(this, null, R.style.TitleSep);

this its my style xml.

 <style name="TitleSep">
        <item name="android:layout_height">fill_parent</item>
         <item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
        <item name="android:lineSpacingMultiplier">1.1</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
        <item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">#ffff0000</item>
         <item name="android:padding">2dip</item>
    </style>

Nothing change at all, i saw the api and should be change the style instead i got the default style.

Any advice.

Cheers Ron

You can define the TextView in separated layout file (like Rajath DSouza suggested). And then load the view from layout file (inflate it) dynamically. For example:

TextView title = (TextView) activity.getViewInflate().inflate(R.layout.styled_textview, null, null);

If you can use the layout file, do the following - it's simpler.

<TextView
    style="@style/TitleSep"
    android:text="hello" />

UPDATE: (from comment)

Why don't create the textview at compile time, but make it invisible, and set it to visible if and when you need to show it. The reason I suggest this roundabout method is because setting the style at compile time seems simpler.

Ron asking it in runtime only – Pinki Apr 14 '11 at 06:37
I cant do that, because i got data from the service and this data tells me if i have to create the textview. Cheers m8 – ron Apr 14 '11 at 06:38
