Using Built-In Android Styles

I've seen a number of great articles on how to define your own custom styles in Android applications, but I wanted to know how to use built-in ones. Turns out it's easy!

To make a TextView use the built-in style android.R.style.TextAppearance_Large_Inverse, just define it like so:

    <TextView
       android:id="@+id/textView1"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       style="@android:style/TextAppearance.Large.Inverse"
       android:text="Text" >
   </TextView>

The key is to replace all the underscores with periods in the style name.
