You worked mainly with themes in the last episode. It’s time to create and assign styles for the TextViews in the bullseye app. Let’s do that now.

<style name="game_stats_text">
    <item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
</style>
style="@style/game_stats_text"
style="@style/game_stats_text"
<style name="instruction_text">
    <item name="android:letterSpacing">0.2</item>
    <item name="textAllCaps">true</item>
    <item name="android:textAlignment">center</item>
</style>
style="@style/instruction_text"
<style name="big_text">
    <item name="android:textSize">32sp</item>
</style>
style="@style/big_text"
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="android:textColor">@color/black</item>
