Refusing your app's TextStyle in a Glance widget

Question

In a glance Text(), there's a style attribute, and this takes a glance TextStyle.

This TextStyle is different to the TextStyle you use in your MaterialTheme. So you can't reuse your app's TextStyles.

Is it possible to reuse your app's TextStyles in a glance app widget?

Note that MaterialTheme is designed for Jetpack Compose UI elements not for Glance. Given the limitations of AppWidgets (i.e no custom fonts) I would avoid reusing the theme.

We are working on a "theming" API for Glance, in the meantime you can keep the TextStyle as top-level variable and reuse it when needed.

I can't reuse the TextStyles from JC UI though, correct? – mmm111mmm Jan 11 '22 at 19:58

The class must be the one in the glance package but You could potentially reuse the values of your TextStyle to fill it. But as said it's limited to certain values only – Marcel Jan 12 '22 at 12:39
Why even TextStyle(color) not working on Glance? – Tsung Wu May 20 '22 at 01:59
because you need to use the TextStyle class in the Glance package – Marcel Jun 08 '22 at 03:31
