You need to create separate style resources in /res/values/style.xml

here is a sample style

<style name="style_title">
    <item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">18dip</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>
