[android-developers] Re: Different resources, one xml file?

Woops, sorry for the duplicate post, I couldn't find my original one
for some reason.

Yeah I figured I could do it through Java code alright, but I'd prefer
not to. In reality I have a lot more resources than just a button and
a BG and setting all these in code and maintaining the list would be
far from ideal. I just wanted to check there wasn't an easier option
before I went ahead and implemented it.
