# Styling

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure you are using version `>= 0.4.3`
{% endhint %}

Starting from version `0.4.3` , we've moved the styling to `styles.xml`. 

You can check `res/layout/...` and find the component you'd like to style and check the `style=@style/<StyleName>` to make your custom style. You can find the default styles at [`res/values/styles.xml`](https://github.com/cotterapp/android-sdk/blob/master/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml) .

#### For example, you can change the Pin Bullet Size:

If you look at [`res/layout/pin_input.xml`](https://github.com/cotterapp/android-sdk/blob/master/app/src/main/res/layout/pin_input.xml) , you'll see:

```markup
<TextView
    android:id="@+id/input_1"
    android:text="\u25CF"
    style="@style/CotterPinInputBullet"
/>
```

This means that you can define your own style for the bullets of the pin by adding the following code to **your project's `res/values/styles.xml`**

```markup
<resources>
    ...
    <!-- Add the following block, 
        change the value for `android:textColor` to `50dp`
        to make the bullets bigger -->
    <style name="CotterPinInputBullet">
        <item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
        <item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
        <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/akkurat_bold</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/colorLightGrey</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">50dp</item> 
        <item name="android:paddingHorizontal">10dp</item>
    </style>

</resources>
```

## Setting Colors and Images

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cotter.app/sdk-reference/android/android-sdk-2/styling.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
