Apply style to child-views

I am looking for a way to apply style to the childs of a开发者_开发问答 tableLayout (tableRow and Textview), the same way we do in css:

.style > childElementType { properties ... }

I would like to achieve the same behavior with my android Styling, meaning that I want to change for instance child's backgrounds depending on their types.

Is it possible?

Thanks, Antoine

pseudocode

function {

1. loop on all children

2. if(child.class=="classname") -> set Style

}
