another way for style implement

[BennyWang]

Now apply style in Anko will go through all the children, if I want to apply more than one style, It will loop several time, I know I can combine style to one function, but It will make the function to big.
so I thought one way for style implement like this.

verticalLayout {
    style<TextView> {   //no name style, apply to all the TextView
        textSize = xxxx
        textColor = xxxxx
    }
    style<TextView>("style1") {   //named style, apply to the TextView with style = "style1"
        textSize = xxxx
        textColor = xxxxx
    }
    editText {
        style = "style1"  //only apply style1 and no name style
    }.lparams(width = matchParent)

    view { 
        backgroundResource = R.color.color_f2 
    }.lparams(width = matchParent, height = 1)

    editText { // will only apply no name style
    }
}

I think this is possible by using view.tag

You're only styling TextViews in your applications?

[BennyWang]

sorry style is a generic function like this, style, so you can styling any View

View.setTag should not be used in Anko because users should be able to use it directly.
Also, using text contacts ("style1") is not the best practice as such constants can't be verified at compile-time.

What I recommend is to do this:

fun <T: View> makeStyle(style: T.() -> Unit) = { v : T -> v.style() }

class ExampleComponent : AnkoComponent<Context> {
    val buttonStyle = makeStyle<Button> {
        textColor = Color.CYAN
    }

    override fun createView(ui: AnkoContext<Context>) = ui.apply {
        button("Click me") {
            onClick { toast("Hello, world!") }
        }.apply(buttonStyle)
    }.view
}

FYI: style() was renamed to applyRecursively().

I have a question. what if I wanted to declare lparams on the layout as well as applyrecursively() on the same? Can I write as a fluentAPI?
