This seems to be working.. android:background="@null" removes the background, but the text color stays the same. It takes another explicit android:textColor="@null" to fix that. I guess those are the values that are set in the editTextStyle, but not in textViewStyle, so they stay the same after style="?android:attr/textViewStyle" and need to be nulled-out explicitly. I'm not sure what's really going on here, but this seems to be a clean solution to this problem. The documentation should be more explaining, with more complete and thought-out examples..
Thanks people - a lot! PS: Don't trust the layout tab in the xml editor too much..
