Hi..Today i would like to share some stuff about desgining concept in Android development that is"Apply colors to android controls like (Buttons,Textviews,etc..) and applying Background colors to Different Layouts"..So lets start

First,Create an xml file in your project and change the name as colors.xml

Next,Save this file in values folder which under the res folder like this res/values/colors.xml

Next,Decide which colors you would like to add.

Next,Open the colors.Xml file and add the following code

Here, We are appying only Background colors

     #000000
            #FFFFFF  
     #F0F0F0

Note: Change the colors as per your requirment

Now save this file and open another xml file to apply these colors to layouts

Open the Layout1.xml file and add the following code

 



//// Another Sub parent Layout’s



// these are the Child Layout’s
