All text on the buttons will have the same styleso we can define a style in strings.xml:
<style name="ButtonText">
<item name="android:layout_width">fill_parent</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>
<item name="android:gravity">center</item>
<item name="android:layout_margin">3dp</item>
<item name="android:textSize">30dp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="android:shadowColor">#000000</item>
<item name="android:shadowDx">1</item>
<item name="android:shadowDy">1</item>
<item name="android:shadowRadius">2</item>
</style>
Together you’ll have a nice collection of nice buttons:
