Style does not work on Button
Here is my XML for a Button:
<Button
style="@style/Btest"
android:id="@+id/Button01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Some text"
/>
And here is the style XML for the Button:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="Btest" parent="@android:style/Widget.Button">
<item name="android:textColor">#FFFFFFFF</item>
<item name="android:textSize">16dip</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
</style>
</resources>
But, the style XML has no effect on the Button. If I skip the style XML and apply the style directly in the Button XML, things work as intended.
What am I missing?

Answer 1
Are you using the parent="@android:style/Widget.Button" for a particular reason? You only need to specify a parent when you want to inherit from another style. What happens if you remove this?
