Theme
Style
Styles in Android allow you to define the look and feel, for example colors and fonts, of Android
components in XML resource files. The name of the XML file is arbitrary,
but it must use the .xml extension. You can define multiple styles per file using <style> tag but
each style will have its name that uniquely identifies the style.
Style.xml:
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"> <!--
Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item> <item
name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
</resources>

String:
Basic function of the strings.xml is to define the strings in one file so that it is easy to use same string in
different positions in the android project plus it makes the project looks less messy.
We can also define an array in this file as well.
String.xml:
<resources>
<string name="app_name">My Application</string>
<String name="cources"/>
<item name="FYIT" type="string"/>
<item name="SYIT" type="string"/>
<item name="TYIT" type="string"/>
</resources>

measure. For example: 10px, 2in, 5sp. The following units of measure are supported by Android: dp.
