Answer 1

yes you can you can apply a theme to the whole application and then all your textviews will have that style.

Inside the styles.xml file you have to define your CustomTheme

for example:

<style name="CustomTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light">
  <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/custom_theme_color</item>
  <item name="android:colorBackground">@color/custom_theme_color</item>
</style>

you add something like text "android:textStyle="myStyle" and specify the details in Mystyle
