Styling attributes do not work on merge tags

Question

Background

I found that style attributes do not work in merge tags, either apply the attributes separately, or apply the style.

Known Solutions

• Apply style attributes to the tag using the layout. For example, include tags and custom tags.

• Just don't use merge.

• Programmatically apply styling.

However, I am looking for the best solutions.

Why?

• This is dirty. I have to apply style attributes every time I use a layout. I do this as a separate layout because they are designed to be reused.

• I intentionally use the merge tag, as they must be immediate children of the parent layout. For example, the tags are children of LinearLayout. I apply layout_width = "0dp" and layout_weight = "1" so that they are evenly distributed in the parent layout.

• Reason # 2 plus tags are generated programmatically. This way I can only apply programmatic style. The service requires ugly and extra effort.

purpose

Satisfactory workaround (s).

XML tags to illustrate purpose

<merge xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    style="@style/CustomStyle">
    <!-- Omitted -->
</merge>

and

<merge xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="1">
    <!-- Omitted -->
</merge>

Both of the above tags are not framed.
