I have an app that can be styled for different customers. I use the styles.xml to style the app for each customer. However, I need to compile the app, every time I need to change the styles. I want to avoid this by getting these style definition from an outside file configuration, and then apply them at run time. I´m already doing this for other resources like images and texts/labels.

Is this possible? How?

Regards

I'll give an example for a color.

If a style has <Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="{StaticResource Color1}" />, then that refers to a Resource with key Color1.

In App.xaml.cs, read the config, use it to construct a Color instance. then set that Resource:

Color color1 = ...;
Application.Current.Resources["Color1"] = color1;

My issue is for example for resources like "android:colorPressedHighlight" that are specified in the styles.xml in the Android project.

The ColorPressedHighlight field is const. It is Compile time constant and could not assign value at runtime.
