hi, all!

I am a newbie in Android development, just started with styles.
I have seen that practically for each View element its style is available, for example:
1<style name="Theme.NoTitleBar.WithColoredSpinners" parent="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
2 <item name="android:spinnerItemStyle">@style/SpinnerItem</item>
3 <item name="android:spinnerDropDownItemStyle">@style/SpinnerItem.DropDownItem</item>
4 </style>
5
6 <style name="SpinnerItem" parent="@android:style/Widget.TextView.SpinnerItem">
7 <item name="android:textColor">#00FF00</item>
8 </style>
9
10 <style name="SpinnerItem.DropDownItem" parent="@android:style/Widget.DropDownItem.Spinner">
11 <item name="android:textColor">#FF0000</item>
12 </style>

and here the text color for Spinner is set.

How do I know, that the correct parent style is Widget.TextView.SpinnerItem or Widget.DropDownItem.Spinner? In the API reference, only available attributes are described, not the whole style name.
