i'm trying to define a theme for an appwidget, and have it applied at
the application level. i have a theme like,

<style name="theme.dark">
  <item name="android"background">#000000</item>
</style>

in my manifest, i set android:theme="@style/theme.dark". however, when
i run the appwidget, it does not pick up the items from the style.

i tried setting style="@style/theme.dark" on an individual element in
my view layout, and that does work ... but that's not what i want. i
don't want to call out a specific style="..." for each element in my
view. this page,

http://www.androidengineer.com/2010/06/using-themes-in-android-applications.html

has an excellent example app for using themes / styles, and it works
perfectly. the only difference is that it's an application .. and it's
setting the theme on the activity, not the application.

i've also tried setting the theme at programmatically on the Context
object in onHandleUpdate() of the appwidget, before the view is
accessed. that doesn't work either.

any ideas?
thanks.
