You don't need to supply a style reference, as long as you are instantiating them from a Context with the desired theme set up. This is one reason to use the Activity context (or Dialog context) to instantiate the views -- this context has a theme set that matches the desired activity/dialog style.
Fwiw, the way a view resolves its style is to either use the style resource you explicitly give it, or look up a style resource from an attribute it has defined for itself in the current theme. Details on all of these are in the documentation for Theme.obtainStyledAttributes(): http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/Resources.Theme.html#obtainStyledAttributes(android.util.AttributeSet,%20int[],%20int,%20int) This is the method that the view classes call to load their attributes out of the XML file / style resource given to them.
